  • The Fear of God - Lesson 10
    Dec 14 2025

    The Fear of God stands as a foundational virtue in Christian ethics, appearing throughout Scripture as the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Dave Rich examines this essential attribute in lesson 10 of his Christian ethics series, demonstrating how The Fear of God shapes believers' lives through faith, obedience, and trust.

    This biblical virtue appears in over 300 verses commanding believers to fear God while rejecting the fear of man or circumstances. The Fear of God leads to life, produces humility, and turns believers away from evil. Rich explores the profound connection between this virtue and anxiety, showing that worry reveals misplaced fear and denigrates God's providence.

    Therefore, believers must cultivate The Fear of God as the soul of wisdom, casting all anxiety on him who cares for them. This teaching illuminates how proper fear of God eliminates improper fear of everything else, grounding Christian living in eternal perspective rather than temporal concerns.

  • Love, Part 2 - Lesson 9
    Dec 7 2025

    Dave Rich explores love as a Christian virtue that pervades all moral decisions and relationships. This comprehensive virtue extends to believers and the lost, demonstrated through obedience, gratitude, and sacrificial service modeled after Christ's atoning love. Love as a Christian virtue means imitating God, who first loved us, fulfilling the law through neighbor love, and speaking truth lovingly. Paul declares that without love as a Christian virtue, even extraordinary spiritual gifts become meaningless, making it essential for Christian living.

  • Love, Part 1 - Lesson 8
    Nov 30 2025

    Dave Rich explores love as a Christian virtue flowing from God's eternal nature within the Trinity. This love extends from the Father's love for the Son before creation, and it reaches believers through union with Christ. Christian love toward God manifests primarily through obedience to His commandments and covenant loyalty. Love as a Christian virtue includes profound gratitude for redemption from spiritual slavery. The biblical word "yada" connects thanksgiving with worship, demonstrating how love as a Christian virtue expresses itself through constant thankfulness and joyful recognition of God's providence.
