What does it mean to “fear the Lord”? For many of us, the word fear brings to mind anxiety, dread, or being afraid. But in the Hebrew understanding, the “fear of the Lord” means something much deeper and richer: reverence, awe, humility, trust, and a proper sense of wonder before the holiness and goodness of God. In this episode of Walking with God, Pat Barry and Pastor Jeff Quinto reflect on the biblical teaching that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Together, they explore how reverence for God shapes the way we live, the choices we make, and the wisdom we seek. Rather than pushing us away from God, this holy awe draws us closer—helping us walk with greater faith, humility, and trust. Join Pat and Pastor Jeff for a thoughtful conversation about what true wisdom looks like when we begin with God.

Pastor Troy teaches on rediscovering the fear of the Lord as awe and reverence that draws people closer to God, using astronauts Reid Wiseman and Glover's “overview effect” after a dangerous moon mission as an illustration of being overwhelmed by the universe. He says modern life's speed, global instability, and prosperity can make people treat God casually, but believers should honor His Word and presence, work out salvation “with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12–13), and remember salvation is holy because Jesus' blood forgives, not merely covers, sin. From Isaiah 6:1–7, he explains that seeing God's holiness reveals human uncleanliness and produces humility and joyful obedience. He warns against ongoing, unrepentant sin and invites listeners to surrender to Jesus in prayer.

We live in a culture that tells us the answer to our guilt and shame is to try harder, be better, and, if all else fails, “forgive ourselves.” Yet Scripture warns that when we look to our own efforts or rule-keeping to make us right, we actually move further away from the grace Christ offers us freely. Together we will consider why self-made righteousness cannot carry the weight of our sin, and how the gospel invites us instead to rest in the finished work of Jesus—his cross, his resurrection, and his ongoing grace for weary hearts.

Wisdom begins in the awareness that God is God, and we are not, and that God is good. Wisdom then encourages us to live our lives from there, as we discover together ways of living that lead to more life.

In this episode we talk about the oft misunderstood doctrine of the fear of the Lord. We reference Michael Reeves book, Rejoice and Tremble as a helpful guide in understanding this necessary and stabilizing truth. We discuss how rightly fearing God humbles us and calms our anxieties, and the unique, comforting knowledge of God that Christians have with a God who is both transcendent and imminent.ResourcesRejoice and Tremble by Michael ReevesGentle and Lowly by Dane OrtlundThe Loveliest Place by Dustin BengeWhat Does It Mean to Fear the Lord? by Michael ReevesThe Heart of Christ by Thomas GoodwinFriendship with God by Mike McKinleyCommunion with God by John OwenThe Fear of God by John BunyanThe Institutes of the Christian Religion by John CalvinKnowing God by J.I.

If we are not careful, it can be easy to misrepresent God. So often we hear people proclaim that God is a God of anger and wrath, a God who demands that we fear Him. While God does absolutely and ultimately demand that all will eventually honor and reverence Him, we need to be able to grasp what He requires of humanity now. The Bible, if carefully understood, supplies these answers. By examining what “fear of the Lord” looks like first in the Old Testament and then in the New, we can receive a clear picture of what He demands. What does this picture show us? It reveals His power, His authority and His overwhelming benevolence. The Old Testament lays the foundation for understanding the fear of the Lord. The Hebrew words for fear carry both negative and positive meanings ranging from terror to deep reverence. Israel's experience was often physical and immediate, while Christians today apply these principles spiritually. This distinction helps us to appreciate why “fear” in Scripture can sometimes sound intimidating yet ultimately points toward a relationship grounded in respect and devotion. Reverence for God brings blessing. Passages from Psalms and Proverbs show that fearing the Lord leads to confidence, instruction, protection and even joy. For example, Proverbs describes the fear of the Lord as “a fountain of life,” offering refuge and strength. This kind of fear is not about shrinking back, but about recognizing God's greatness and drawing closer to Him because of it. Reverence for God brings guidance. A deeply personal example of this is Rick's experience of how reverence for God sustained him through the trauma of his daughter's assault. He describes relying on prayer and scriptural principles when he didn't know what to do, illustrating how reverence can anchor believers during life's most overwhelming moments. The New Testament verifies that reverence remains essential for Christians. While the Greek word phobéō can mean fright, it also carries the meaning of awe and respect. The apostles encourage believers to perfect holiness in the fear of God, to honor all people and to avoid any ungodly spirit of cowardice. The picture is clear: ‘Fearing the Lord’ means placing Him in His rightful position—above all things—and allowing that reverence to shape our confidence, choices and character.  Key Takeaways The ‘fear of the Lord’ in Scripture primarily means reverence, awe and deep respect, not terror. Old Testament examples show that reverence brings instruction, protection, confidence and blessing. True ‘fear’ of God draws us toward Him, not away from Him. The New Testament continues this theme, urging Christians to perfect holiness in reverence. God has not given Christians a spirit of fearfulness or cowardice. Reverence becomes especially powerful during personal trials, grounding us in God's presence and guidance.

Homily - 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time - The Fear of the Lord

Real Fear My Godbaby Million year plan

In part 2 of a three-part series entitled, Walking In The Fear of the Lord, Pastor Chris Rieber looks at 5 positive results of having a healthy fear of God. It is a fear which results in an awareness of God's goodness to offer grace instead of condemnation, forgiveness instead of judgment and love instead of rejection. This should lead to a joyful desire to obey God, walk with Him daily, love Him more and worship Him continually.

Scripture clearly commands us to fear the Lord. But what exactly does it actually mean to fear Him? SHARE HOW GOD IS USING THIS PODCAST!Support the show

What if the secret to living holy is not trying harder—but trusting God more? Many sincerely desire change, yet become discouraged trying to overcome sin and weakness through human effort alone. In Episode 15 of The Fear of the Lord, Duane Sheriff explains that holiness is not achieved through willpower, religious performance, or striving in the flesh. True transformation happens as we behold the glory of God and trust the power of the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out.Holiness is not about pretending to be perfect or earning God's acceptance—it is the supernatural work of God's Spirit producing His nature and character within us. Like a metamorphosis, believers are progressively transformed from glory to glory as they keep their eyes fixed on Jesus through Scripture. The liberty the Holy Spirit brings is not freedom to sin, but freedom to become who God created us to be. When we transition from trying in our own strength to trusting in God's grace, we discover the sustainable path to holiness that religious effort can never produce.This episode offers practical wisdom for overcoming discouragement, breaking free from condemnation, and learning to live holy by faith rather than fear, striving, or self-effort.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

Holiness is not about rules and performance, but about wisdom, love, and protecting your heart from deception. In Episode 14 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that true holiness flows from understanding God's nature and recognizing the deadly and deceptive consequences of sin. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and that wisdom helps believers discern how sin slowly hardens the heart, dulls spiritual sensitivity, and pulls people away from God.Holiness is not about earning God's love or acceptance through religious performance. Through faith in Jesus Christ, believers have already been made righteous and holy before God. Yet wisdom teaches us that sin still damages lives, harms relationships, hinders our witness, and opens the door for Satan to steal, kill, and destroy. As hearts become hardened through the deceitfulness of sin, people lose sensitivity to God's voice and become blind to the consequences of their actions.This episode reveals how the fear of the Lord produces wisdom that guards the heart, keeps believers spiritually sensitive, and empowers them to walk in holiness out of love for God and others.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

How holy is God—and why does holiness matter? Many people misunderstand holiness or pursue it for the wrong reasons, trying to earn God's love, blessings, or acceptance through their own performance. In Episode 13 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff distinguishes between cultural and man-made definitions of holiness and the true holiness of God revealed in Scripture. Because holiness is God's nature, and because believers have been made righteous and holy through faith in Jesus Christ, we are now called to live lives that reflect His character.This message dismantles performance-based Christianity and replaces it with something far more powerful: a relationship rooted in grace, love, and transformation. Duane explains that we live holy not to gain God's favor, but because God is holy, because we are holy in Him, and because we genuinely love God and people. When we understand that sin not only offends God but also harms ourselves and others, holiness becomes an expression of love rather than a religious duty. This perspective transforms Christian living from obligation into heartfelt devotion.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

How holy is God? Scripture describes Him as a consuming fire—so pure, righteous, and glorious that no sinful person could stand in His presence apart from His mercy and grace. In Episode 12 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that understanding God's holiness is essential to understanding both the fear of the Lord and the greatness of salvation through Jesus by distinguishing between tormenting fear (being afraid of God) and godly fear (reverence and worship of God).Through faith in Jesus, we are transformed from children of darkness to children of light and are clothed in Christ's righteousness, enabling us to stand in God's holy presence, not with terror but with confidence. Drawing from Hebrews, Thessalonians, Daniel, and other Scriptures, Duane explains how the same holy fire that brings judgment to unbelief becomes cleansing, refining, and refreshing to those who trust in Christ. The account of the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace is an example of how God's presence burns away bondage while preserving His people.Discover what true holiness really means—not an outward religious performance or cultural standard, but a Christ-like character formed within us through the transforming grace of God.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

What happens when sinful humanity encounters a God who is perfectly holy, pure, and described in Scripture as a consuming fire? Who can stand before such awesome holiness? God's holiness is not merely a theological concept, but a reality that demands reverence. In Episode 11 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that we can only stand in God's presence by grace through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.For those who accept God's mercy, this same consuming fire becomes refreshing rather than tormenting. The Bible's imagery of the three Hebrew children thrown into the fiery furnace illustrates how God's fire burns away bondage while preserving those who trust in Him.This message also addresses sobering biblical truths about judgment, hell, salvation, and the wrath from which Jesus came to save us. Hell was never created for humanity, but God lovingly made a way through Christ so that no one would perish. Through repentance and faith in Jesus, we can receive eternal life and stand confidently in God's presence. Deepen your understanding of God's holiness, grace, and the transforming power of the Gospel.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
