The fear of The Lord is a brake that stops you when you're in the wrong direction.
You don’t obey your way into faith (the Pharisees proved that); you believe your way into obedience.
. . .by lifting our hands we symbolically receive everything God is doing in our lives.
Those who walk in radical obedience have made themselves ready for the storm, and they will overcome.
Loyalty is from above, betrayal is from below.
The Holy Spirit is profoundly committed to restoring the first commandment to first place in our lives.
