28:4,5; Luke 1:12,13; 2:9,10, etc.). That’s because angels are so awesome in appearance that men naturally cower before them. Well, if they cower before angels, and angels are mere creations of Almighty God, how much more would we fear the Creator Himself were we to be able to see Him

BBS founder Pastor C. R. Stam used to compare our fear of God to an invitation you might receive to dine with the president. While you would delight to go, you would no doubt go with fear and trembling. Not fear of what he might do to you, but out of respect for his office, and fear that you might disappoint him with your conduct and perhaps, in the extreme, even disgrace your family name. Likewise, we are not afraid of what God might do to us if we work out our own salvation poorly, but we fear disappointing Him, or disgracing His name by our conduct (cf. Neh. 5:9).

Finally, you might also compare how a husband who has a godly wife fears to hurt her—not because he is afraid she’ll leave him, for she has vowed she never will. But rather because he is afraid to presume on her grace by grieving her. Similarly, God would never leave us, but we don’t want to presume on His grace by grieving the very Spirit that seals us (Eph. 4:30).

GriefShare Held At Ephrata Bible Fellowship

The Ephrata Bible Fellowship Church invites everyone to attend GriefShare. GriefShare is a nondenominational group that meets weekly and features Christ centered, biblical teaching on grief recovery topics associated with the death of a loved one. It includes a DVD seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects and includes real-life discussion about what was seen on the DVD. Past participants have related how helpful the DVDs and follow up discussions were to them.

You will find encouragement, comfort, and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family members, or a friend. It is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. Your bereavement experience may be recent or not so recent. At GriefShare you will learn valuable information about recovering from your grief and renewing your hope for the future. You will also learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief. Grief related books/ materials are made available to participants.

GriefShare meets on Tuesdays, beginning February 28 and goes through May 23 from 6:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The sessions take place at the church, which is located at 491 Peach Road in Ephrata. If you have any further questions, please contact the church office at 717-733-2526.
