Have we lost reverence for God in today’s churches?

When I traveled to Israel recently, the churches built on holy sites stirred something in me: an ancient value for reverencing the Lord. Their structures, art, and silence echoed holiness and majesty. While I’m not suggesting we copy every Orthodox or Catholic ritual, I do think they’ve preserved something many Protestant churches have set aside:

Reverence. Awe. The fear of the Lord.

Of course, some traditions can drift into legalism or distance from an intimate, loving God. But the danger on the other side is just as real: casualness that forgets His majesty.
