Have you ever wondered why we should fear God? Isn’t
God a loving God? Why should we fear the Lord? Yirah is
the Hebrew word for fear. Yirah has a deeper meaning
than the English word fear often conveys. Yirah, and the
fear of the Lord, is one of the topics that we will be
exploring during our Sunday evening Lenten series,
beginning on March 1, 6-7pm. I will be leading this study,
using the little book “5 Hebrew Words that Every
Christian Should Know,” a bite-sized bible study by Lois

A mother was preparing pancakes for her
sons, Kevin, 5 and Ryan, 3. The boys began to
argue over who would get the first pancake. Their
mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, “Let my brother
have the first pancake. I can wait.” Kevin nodded to his
younger brother and said, “Ryan, you be Jesus.”
