Dear Editor,
Thank you for Ian Hamilton’s article on ‘Fearing God’ [read said article here]. Perhaps we could add that the fear of God shrinks all other fears (implied by Isaiah 8v12-13). And may we add non-biblical illustrations? There are earthly things larger than us yet which we are drawn to approach (if not use), but these will prove fatal unless we respect the terms of engagement: the sea for swimmers, the cliff for climbers, the rope for cavers, the air supply for astronauts, the road for drivers, and electricity for our devices.
Yours sincerely,
Jonathan Frais,
