The blessing of fearing God

“Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! ” (Psalm 128:1, ESV)

“God must be taken seriously. He must not be trifled with. He must be, as he actually is, the center of everything we are, think, or aspire to do. He must be our starting point for every project, the strength we seek for every valuable endeavor, the one we earnestly desire to please and honor as our goal.”–James Boice, The Psalms, p. 1125

Andy Naselli posts about 4 DVDs from Frontline Missions that have deeply impacted and challenged he and his wife. I’m looking forward to watching them myself at his recommendation.

Here are two endorsements of the videos:

Are you afraid to open your eyes and see death and destruction in the world? Dispatches from the Front will open your eyes to the great needs of the lost, enflame your heart to go to the nations, and give you the courage to carry on the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the glory of God. This is a bold call to action.
–Burk Parsons, pastor, author, editor of Tabletalk magazine

Dispatches offers a potent reminder that in the darkest places, the gospel shines brightest. It should come with a warning label. Danger: Graphic scenes of mission reality that will disrupt your comfort and ignite your heart for God’s work on the frontlines. Pray, watch and act!
–Dave Harvey, Sovereign Grace Ministries – Church Planting & Missiology
