Revering God
Zondervan Reflective, 2024
By Thaddeus J. Williams

WHO: Thaddeus J. Williams, associate professor of theology at Biola University.

HE SAYS: “Human beings are designed for awe, captured in the frequent biblical command to have yirah—awe, fear, reverence—for our Maker.” 

THE BIG IDEA: Deep theology meets real life.

THE PROGRESSION: In 30 chapters, the author draws from church history, science, philosophy, literature, cinema, art, music and Scripture to help readers embrace the God of the Bible, understand his attributes, and marvel at our Maker.

“Let us revere him as Lord over our minds, our feelings, our actions, our relationships, our morals, our imaginations–all of us.”

When Familiar Becomes Careless

God wants to be in a relationship with his people that’s not marked by fear but love. Not apprehension, but an appreciation of his great grace and compassion.

At auction, the quilts go for hundreds or even thousands of dollars that directly help women and children in need, providing funds for baby and maternity items at the pregnancy resource center.

There’s No Contradiction Between God’s Empowerment and Our Efforts to Battle Sin

The Christian life is not a choice between loving and trusting Jesus, and making an effort to avoid temptation and sin. It is not either/or—it is both/and.
