Proverbs 1:7 says, “The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” It used to be that children were taught to “respect” and “fear” their parents. Today, society frowns upon parents who discipline their children and teach them to be submissive and obedient to their will. As a result, many children do not want to do what their parents tell them to do. Is it possible for us to even know how to “fear God” if we have never learned how to “fear our parents”?
