"The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him." Proverbs 23:24 (ESV)
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. Proverbs 29:25
The cross of Christ is God's decisive answer to the problem of sin and its devastating power over us.
And he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is Zion's treasure.
