[Stand Firm] 9 Jul 2007--There is a terror there too; a dreadful terror that dawns suddenly or gradually in proportion to an individual’s comprehension of God’s holiness versus his or her own profanity. This is the terror that caused Adam and Eve to flee and hide themselves when they realized they were naked; this is the fear that gripped Isaiah before the throne as he came “undone”; This is the fear that cut to the heart of the crowd during Peter’s sermon at Pentecost; this is the fear that prevented the false profession of pretenders after Ananias and Saphira were slain; this is the fear that marked the Great Awakening in this country many years later and this is the fear that marks the beginning of faith because it is this true recognition of our status before the Holy God that drives us to our knees.
