Fear of who....

Who do you fear?

Scenario #1 Lets say you are a secretary and you are at work. Your boss isnt around so you think it would be okay to check your email quickly rather then write up your weekly report. But wait! He forgot something in the office, and he comes back in...the question to you is, are you more freaked out becuase your boss might catch your email on the screen or becasue of the punishment that awaits you from the LORD God Almighty?

Scenario #2 You go to the mall with a good Christain friend...lets call him Bob. You dont have any money, but there is a watch which caught your eye. Now you dont want to look bad infront of Bob, so you dont steel it. Oh but Bob left his wallet at the last store and goes to retreve it, leaving you in a position of being alone, and since Bob isnt there to provide judgement you go ahead and take the watch with a five finger discount, to look up and see Bob holding his wallet which was in his pocket the whole time...the question to you is, do you fear Bobs judgement over the judgement that awaits you from the LORD God Almighty?

Scenario #3 You are in habitual sin (ouch, step one, if you are, humble yourself and ask elders of the church for help) hmm, which one should we pick...lets go with sexual imortality. You and Shelley have been together for months. Obviously deeply in love, and are even talking about marraige. You've let the enemy grab a hold of this situation and you are sleeping together. Around other people you are a holy couple, but behind closed doors you are in habitual sexual sin. One day you lend your brother a pair of jeans, and to his surprise he finds a condom wrapper in the pocket. As an obedient servent of Christ, he aproaches you with love and asks you about it. The question to you is...are you shakeing and sweating becuase your brother knows or becuase the LORD God Almighty knows?

The question to you is...do you fear man more then you fear God?
