FEAR = RESPECT BIBLICALLY THESE WORDS ARE SO INTERWOVEN AND INTERTWINED THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY INSEPARABLE.

Dear Loved Ones,

The BIBLE time and time and time again encourages, teaches, demands that we fear GOD.

Do you fear the LORD?
You are in good company if you do. We have Joseph's testimony and the Prophet Jonah's own words that they feared GOD. Also Jacob called GOD ALMIGHTY the fear of Isaac. That is to say "The Fear of Isaac" is one of GOD's Names.
