The Fear of the Lord

Most of the time that fear of the Lord does get talked about in the Church, the translation is inaccurate and unhelpful. It tends to be associated with things like be afraid of God because he might deal with you like he dealt with ananias and Sephiral. In Hebrew,Fear of the Lord is what's called a bound phrase, meaning it's one comprehensive term. The spiritual life is to listen to the story that God is telling and participate in that story while living in a noisy, contested world.
