There are different words used for fear in the scriptures, one type means terror and the other type means reverence. In the Old Testament it’s not that hard to tell the difference because the words are easily identified, but in the New Testament we always have to look at the context of how the words are used to understand it correctly.
We are starting a new series today that takes a trek through the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is not a linear book that travels a straight path from A to B, it is a textual/topical book with wisdom shared from various sages throughout the of the best Old Testament periods. Proverbs is about wisdom that teaches us to live in true freedom. As followers of Jesus we aren’t against the culture in which we live, we are for creating something that honors Jesus in all things.
