Sad really when one thinks it's ok to tremble at the word of God.
Psalms 119:105 (NKJV)
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
A lamp that shines in our hearts, dealing with crap in it, yet at the same time bringing comfort.
If someone is frightened to read the Bible. There is a reason.
Like I used to be.
PS note saying Rose is like this. She devours the Bible.

I was saving the reference for Joe, but here it is...
“These are the ones I look on with favor:those who are humble and contrite in spirit,and who tremble at my word."-Isaiah 66:2
If there is anyone in this forum who will read 1 Corinthians 11:29-30 and take it to heart it will be Rosemary. I don'think you're too far behind her, Bill.

It means fear. We should fear the Lord's punishment, chastisement, discipline whatever you want to call it. Only a fool would not fear God's punishment. They show they either don't care about his punishment, or they don't believe he does that. Fear is the beginning of wisdom. Fear of God is the foundation of wisdom.
The fear that these scriptures speak of has been done away with.
Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hi Ralph...Do you not see us as like the 5 wise virgins , who came prepared with extra oil 
, not relying on anyone else but Jesus Himself...We have our Lamps lit , Jesus is our oil , He keeps us burning bright , He restores us when we fall , we are His...
When we do good deeds , it is God who wills us , I go through seasons where sometimes I feel like I do not do enough , my days are quiet , I spend a lot of time on my own and then out the blue when I go out , normally something happens , and when I get home and look back on my day , I know it was God who willed me to do the good that I done...
We can not force good works or else that would be working in our own strength , although we walk with the fruit of the Spirit so others can see our light shining which is Jesus inside of us...
The Holy Spirit will not abide in anyone who claims to be born again , who does not practice how we are told to walk , it is impossible not to change once we have the Holy Spirit...I love that the bible uses the word practice , it means that as we walk while we practice , we will fall down , we will and do stumble , and we press on making less mistakes because we keep on practicing...I am so glad that Jesus never said " If you do not get this right first time then you are out , done , thrown away...Praise God that He is patient amongst all the other beautiful things that He is...xox...
