Where are the "God-fearing" today? Has God changed so that there is no need any longer to fear him?
This past week I presented a medal of the Order of Centurions to my grandson Legionary Nathan. He was concerned and asked me about the motto on the medallion, "Fear God and do what is right" [Acts 10:34 & 35]. He could not comprehend "fearing" God. Well, I did explain it mainly in terms of awe and reverence but also of a holy fear of offending God through transgressions. Then throughout the week, I showed him Scripture to support this.
I wish I had read this article by The Rev. Dr. Peter Toon, but it was just published today. I commend it to you now so that should an occasion arise to explain the motto of the Order, you will be well equipped. I will place it in "Articles" on our links page.
