Fear God - Repent!

"God will hear, and afflict them, even He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change, therefore they do not fear God."  Psalm 55:19

People evidently enjoy fear! Horror movies continue to thrive in Hollywood and there seems no end to how much men will pay to be scared!  The more destruction; the more bloodshed; the more suspense; the more people love it. I guess because we have been sheltered from most of the horrors the rest of the world experiences on a daily basis, we need to get our adrenaline rush from somewhere.

Webster defines "fear" this way:  "n 1: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by expectation of awareness of danger; also: an instance of, or a state marked by this emotion. 2: anxious concern 3: profound reverence esp. toward God syn dread, fright alarm, panic terror, trepidation".

Maybe, maybe if we had a healthy fear of God, the movie industry wouldn't be making raking it in!

Psalm 111:10a says "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom"

There is nothing in Hollywood to compare with what this lost world will experience during the end of days when God pours out His wrath!  "It is a fearful (formidable and terrible) thing to incur the divine penalties and be cast into the hands of the living God!" Hebrews 10:31 Amp

"All men shall fear, and shall declare the word of God; for they shall wisely consider His doing." 
Psalm 64:9


You who enjoy scary movies, examine your heart, read your Bible, and repent!

The time you waste would be better spent getting to know God, The Maker of the Universe! Because IF He doesn't know you, when He returns, you will get the real scare of your life; and it will go on, and on, and on . . .

Repent - like your life depends on it - because it does!!!!!

Even so - MARANATHA!
