How is the fear of the Lord the beginning of wisdom?

How is the fear of the Lord the beginning of wisdom?: "Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Basically, this verse teaches that the fear of God is foundational to true wisdom; all other types of learning are worthless unless built upon a knowledge of the Lord Himself. Many other passages talk about the fear of the Lord (e.g., Psalm 11:10; Proverbs 1:7; 14:27; 15:33). Before we can understand how the fear of the Lord leads to wisdom, we need to define what the Bible means by “fear” in this context."

Question of the Week: " Every time there is a conflict in or around Israel, many see it as a sign of the quickly approaching end times. The problem with this is that we may eventually tire of the conflict in Israel, so much so that we will not recognize when true, prophetically significant events occur. Conflict in Israel is not necessarily a sign of the end times."

The Fallacious Arguments of the Homosexual Agenda: Matthew 7:1-6 "Judge not lest ye be judged..." : Freedom Outpost: "Homosexual activists, and their straight minions and familiars, wield as one of their primary weapons of dis-information, the twisting of Scripture, in order to support their abominable practices, and to bash Christians for cherrypicking which Laws in Scripture that we follow while ignoring others, and in doing so they pave the way to dismissing our anti-perversion position as being hypocritical and selective"

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: The Law of Moses.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: The Law of Moses.: "Charles Spurgeon said, “With every commandment—the bare letter is nothing, compared with the whole stupendous meaning and severe strictness of the rule. The commandments, if I may so speak, are like the stars. When seen with the naked eye, they appear to be brilliant points; if we could draw near to them, we should see them to be infinite worlds, greater than even our sun, stupendous though it is. So is it with the law of God."

It’s one thing to affirm the common humanity shared by Christians and Muslims; it’s another thing altogether to assert that they share a common belief system—as in “Living Our Faith Together.” - Read the entire article here."

Franklin Graham: Praying for the Next Great Awakening | Story | BGEA

Franklin Graham: Praying for the Next Great Awakening | Story | BGEA: "While doomsday appears to be knocking at our door, let me take you back to the early 1800s. Many think of it as “the good old days,” but history tells us that society, even then, was as bad as it could get at that time. John Marshall, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, wrote to President James Madison and said, “The church is too far gone ever to be redeemed.” When we examine why, we find that preachers had stopped preaching the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the people were not hearing God’s Word."
