The foundational claim of the book of Proverbs is that wisdom starts with the Fear of the Lord. If it's true that the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and if we desire to attain Godly wisdom, then we need to gain a healthy appreciation and understanding of what this Fear of the Lord is. Isn't FEAR a negative emotion? Doesn't Jesus frequently command his friends to "FEAR not!"? Didn't the Apostle John tell us that, "Perfect love casts out fear"?
In this message, we will learn to see that there is a healthy and an unhealthy fear of the Lord, and how to distinguish between the two. We will see how the Fear of the Lord is a healthy emotional response to God in His Greatness and Goodness. And, we will consider a handful of Proverbs that instruct us in how to cultivate this healthy Fear of the Lord.
