Fear of the Lord: Lost Without a Compass

The fear of the Lord is the "magnetic north" of wisdom. If it is rejected a tragic process begins which is like getting lost without a compass. If we return to Him then wisdom begins to flow again!

At the very center of every person, where the knowledge of God, if it is to have any positive effects, must be embraced, there has settled a darkness- a darkness that only the light of the gospel can penetrate.
— Douglas Moo, Romans, p. 107

Romans 1:18-32
Proverbs 9:10
