Today, we want to think about taking life seriously. The Bible teaches that when the Church and then, in time, even the society around the Church, when the Church takes God seriously, things begin to change for good. Today we want to think about the weightiness of God, the idea of God's holiness and otherness and uniqueness and what happens when He is given weight and seen to be significant and all-important.
This is what our culture used to call reverence and what the Bible calls "the fear of the Lord". "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Prov. 9.10) and when that sense of awe and the clean fear of God (Ps 19.9) is restored, the Church and even, eventually, the culture around the Church are on the brink of wisdom and renewal and new life.
What is reverence? What happens when it disappears? What are the counterfeits for reverence and how is true reverence or "the fear of the Lord", how is it restored and what are its effects in our lives, the church and in the larger society?
