Holiness
For some time now I have been thinking about my time in the Holiness churches and reflecting on the lessons that God taught me there.
I don’t know what your take on the holiness church is, but there are some things I know God planted within in me that will never leave, nor should they.
• If it’s really true that “all the world is a stage,” then God’s children should all have stagefright.
• John Newton’s life rule: “I make it a rule of Christian duty never to go to a place where there is not room for my Master as well as myself.”
The definition for holiness of course is separation from what is unclean; sanctified or consecrated.
Last week we talked about taking out the trash, and today I want to continue with that mentality and dive deeper into God’s word concerning the matter.
Holiness is nothing to snub our noses at by flippantly declaring that our sins are “under the blood” or the “Lord knows my heart”.
