The fear of God is the death of every other fear; like a mighty lion, it chases all other fears before it. -Charles Spurgeon
by Randy Alcorn
(0 Reviews)

In Randy Alcorn's book "Seeing the Unseen," he highlights a profound idea that the fear of God can eradicate all other fears we experience in life. Spurgeon’s metaphorical comparison of this fear to a mighty lion suggests that when we hold a reverent awe for God, it empowers and liberates us from lesser fears that often plague our minds and hearts.

This passage encourages individuals to develop a strong sense of faith and reverence for God, as it fosters courage and strength. By nurturing this divine fear, we can confront and chase away the anxieties and worries that hinder our peace, allowing God's presence to dominate our lives and lead us to greater spiritual freedom.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
