Isaiah 8
Isaiah wrote, “You are to regard only the Lord of Hosts as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be held in awe.” [Is. 8:13 HCSB] When you fear God alone, you don’t need to fear man.
One of my former students, Adrian Tice, was listed in a lawsuit in Chicago because the church where he is an assistant Pastor refused to withhold meeting during the Covid quarantine. Being from Romania, he had firsthand experience with the subjugation tactics of the Romanian Communist regime. Praise the Lord, the litigation against him was dropped. Because he and the Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church leadership feared God, they didn’t need to fear the corrupt Chicago political machine.
