In recent times 
God has been trivialized,packaged for entertainment, presented as a sort
 of psychological panacea, a heavenly glue to keep happy families 
together, a celestial slot machine to respond to whims and wants, a 
formula for success, a fund raiser for pseudo-religious enterprises,  a 
slick phrase for bumper stickers, and a sort of holy pie and spiritual 
ice cream. How impoverished this all is, when compared to the experience
 recorded in Scriptures!(Job 42:1-6, Dan 10:11). I would go far to say 
that we will never be able to truly convey to others what God means to 
us or who He is to us, unless we have learnt to stand in awe before Him 
and tremble at his Glory. If you truly experience God, you will fear 
Him! One word that has been greatly misused is "awe", "awesome", 
anything nowadays is awesome, please Check the meaning of that word 
before you use it next time. We sing "awesome God, How Great Thou Art"? 
Yet we want to put him a box! Some people fear the devil now more than 
they fear God! Tie a red clothe on your orange and add a broom,nobody 
will touch it. Put an inscription JESUS is Lord on the orange?...your 
guess is as God as mine.  Is it the case of fake pastors and fraud stars
 using the name of God for dubious acts? Or the case of people who say 
one thing in the light but go and do another thing in the dark? That is a
 discuss for another day.. My question is simple, and I don't want you 
to throw it to another person or say "please tell them",it is a question
 we all need to ask ourselves individually....DO YOU REALLY FEAR GOD? If
 you do then let it show in your actions!
