“Strengthening Families”

Today is not the first time that I see this advertisement in one of our local papers ( Doubtless Bay Times, Wednesday, 2 November, 2011):

A family consists of a Father, a Mother and children.

A Christian family consists of a Father who fears God, a Mother who fears God and children who fear God.

Families who fear God are strong families. Families who do not fear God are not strong families.

What is the meaning of “Fear of the Lord” or “Fear of God?”

“Reverential  trust with a hatred of evil.” – Dr. C. I. Scofield.

“Gather Me the people together, and I will make them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they shall live upon the earth.” – Deuteronomy 4:10

Is the fear of God commanded? The answer is YES!
