Day 5

7:40 AM wake-up as girls go to church to worship practice

Exodus 20

Verse 20: Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin.”

This answers the question from yesterday - God certainly makes a big deal of His holiness because He is in fact holy, but also because He wants us to walk rightly. He knows our amazing propensity to sin, and is putting in what today our society mocks as 'the fear of God', or uses as a metaphor. The Lord removes any ambiguity of what is at stake: sin kills. Our society treats sin as a game, approaches sin like the thing to do, and even the church has written off sin, and pooh poohed the impact of ongoing sin in the church, and many churches are well on their way to redefining sin out of the Bible. Woe unto us. God save us. May we learn to treat sin as sin, and may our children honor the Lord at His word.
