You Must Fear God!
It is abundantly clear that a true Christian must FEAR GOD! The apostate “church” of today does not at all! They teach a false, worldly, “tolerant” love that does not produce godly sorrow that leads to repentance and salvation. They preach the ear-ticklin’ false gospel prophesied of thousands of years ago! Another post on an example of ungodly fear is here.
