Decoding Christianese: Week 1 - Fear of The Lord

Week 1 — The Fear of the Lord

Before anything else in the Christian life can make sense, you have to start here. The Fear of the Lord is one of the most used and least understood phrases in all of Scripture — and most people quietly assume it just means "be careful not to make God angry." It doesn't. It's something richer, deeper, and far more life-changing than that. When Isaiah walked into the temple and saw the Lord on His throne, he didn't leave with a theology degree. He left undone, cleansed, and sent. This week, we discover that the Fear of the Lord isn't the beginning of religion — it's the beginning of reality.
