Active Holiness
What could we turn together now to the scriptures and I'm going to read from the book of Psalms and some 19, so I'm not saying and I read the whole of that song.
The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech a night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech no other words whose voice is not heard. My voice goes out through all the Earth and that was for the end of the world. And a me a set a tent for the sun becomes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber. I like a strong mind runs it cost with joy. It's rises from the end of the heavens and they suck it to the end of the day. There's nothing hidden from me.
The Lord the Lord is perfect Reviving The Soul. The session is our loyalty sure making wise the simple the precepts of the Lord are I rejoice in the hall to come out until the Lord is pure in line in the eye. The fear of the Lord is clean in Jordan forever. The rules of the Lord are true and righteous altogether more to be desired.

Honey Shop in the need for absolute holiness Anish on how that should lead to us truly loving one another I need continuous now to show a photo evidence of what true Holiness is what active holiness?
The three things that we see here there is a negative aspect. First of all inverse one deposits here and verse 2 and the motivation for this in the scree. I'm thinking of the negative. Press told me to stay away all malice or just seat for Chrissy and envy and Old Land. What is so clear? What is on the line is Locust? What is so important for us as we profess to be Christians is being born again of God's spirit that must be clear evidence of that in the lives that we live. Just as there is a child is born. Naturally. We look for the evidence of life that the child is alive that is going to grow and saw the God has done in our hearts. We look for a distinctively Christian Behavior. This is now not just by this to the Ephesians in chapter 4 verse 22. He says we are to push off your old self, which was a matter of life and it's crap deceitful desire.
A change to a recognizable a change that shows the God's grace and it work in line. Change that should not be in the Christian Life and the Christians design it the first is malice. He says so put away all malice the word malice ill-will.
And if we are True Believers, that should not be that malice. It's not the right way. And we we we need to turn aside from that. We can see can that Grace so to do that we must resist that desire to inflict harm or injury to anyone agree that that is the case and gave me with stress that haven't been born a guy. We have turned our backs on Old that is evil. We have put ourselves the does displease and dishonor the Lord when writing the tightest pool in chapter three medians that ass Tres Reyes Tavares passions and Pleasures parsonage. I use a malice and envy hated by others and hating one another about this must be dealt with it's not easy and it got later on to see how weed seeds to deal with that, but we should be willing to do exercise thought about it, but then the second thing I don't think that's a nice views just seat for you to go Sunday. Just have to put away the Old Man and the Sea shall many things. Cramps adoption slander and treachery many different things that we see evidence of this in that area is so much deceit and sadly. We do find a Christian that is it wishes are rejecting the truth and not acting in accord with the truth full from within out of the heart of man. Come evil thoughts sexual immorality theft murder adultery coveting wickedness deceit sensual. Envy Salon de Freud foolishness all these evil things come from within and they defiled a person just walk into the Pharisees in that I can shoot and he says it's not what you type in to eat the causes a problem. That is that is that and I not true State man under women. He's right here on his ate some to shopping in the first chapter of Romans that said well, it is actually like he says in verse 28 and since I did not see fit to acknowledge God they were filled with all manner of unrighteousness evil covered his malice by Avril Lavigne reverse trike the seat maliciousness. They are just like sums up what the world is. Like, let me see it, you know the news everyday me see it and what people do you see how people that mean to hear about the violent acts many people do cats are involved in tragic those a
By those who are not Christian Mingle being born again. That's still alive. Is that coffee shop with o that Deceit by deceit that takes on the appearance of being truth so that those who are weary can be tricked but it is still deceit is seeking to leave people us. Try next thing is he likes a hypocrite but this is what so many people alike and that needs to be dealt with and I'll order it and what he said about the fry those Pharisees in the end those hypocrites.
How is your right profession believe it is not right into the world, but she did it in Acts chapter 2 he signed you people who profess to be born. If you go to get rid of hypocracy you go to get rid of that is so not Christian and the way the Lord has put it to the Pharisees chapter 15 Festival in Fast 7. He said said you Hypocrites well when they said this people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me Jesus and message where we often think of Jesus without being Mickey Mouse. That's just not true. He bought me he was bought a very real sense it but he challenged everything was wrong. Stephanie says woe to you scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites feel like whitewashed tombs, which out what they have. Beautiful but within a full of dead people's bones Rowland street. So you also outwardly appear righteous the others you're full of hypocrisy and Loyalists how many Pharisee sadly within the profession shirts today? They appear so fine. They appear so great. They appear to be so faithful, but I didn't that inner self. They are choking pollution that allows dead bones out filthy. They are affected by all the time.
No place in the life of any true believe it needs to be the next one. And he says NV NV it is a attitude expressed so often and I just don't have to possess someone else and I am they can be seen in many ways and I envied often leads to ask bear in the garage because songs have has this been doing very well. They don't have any financial problems. I can get all that. I want to get
The most we find that within the check when we Envy other people's experience when I was attending a Christian holiday conference in Cleveland in the fellowship meeting in the evening of Friday night. I had what they call it a text when you meet what people write for give that estimate of how the Lord has spoken to her in that week for the first three or four it was clear into others trying to be even worse see what they said and being around about them. I would never have such a text when he meets him. It leads to that. It was the true work of God that he is the true Testament of every believer. It seemed not so much and what they say, but what they do or don't do and we see that Sean and forth in the lines of every Faithful and True Believer movie was not be there in the lost one Bond. How easy is it to other people just say things. They don't know quite true. We've been just a downright lies about nothing and cooling problems after his old to say that to sound so sad that I acted in this wife. It is just pure.
A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but Envy makes the bones. And that it must be dealt with that must be taken away that we don't compare yourself with others. We see ourselves to be honoring to the Lord and following him receipt to show forth. And so James remind Sicily wine, which we do act in this Wayne James 4:11. He says do not speak evil against one another Brothers the one who speaks against the product will judge sees his brother speak evil against the law on Josh's little but if you just the Lord you are not a door of the Lord got a job.

Hope our family and poinsettia, and if we find that in around situations, it's not one counselor said do you know that sounds how did this so the pasta did this or whatever? It might be? We know that's just not true.
Is that truth must be upheld butthole? All these things? He's not play any part in a True Believers life. I have no place that but we have to save Chris be honest beauty of this medication Effexor son brings us down and we need to be so careful to sight and Lucas will always be judging you but always be tempted to act in that right way, but if we truly love one another is that Christian should love truly is Operation and it's one or the other and it's not love that must be why is white people goes on. Invest to just not tell us that the most positive aspect of this not you born infants long for the pure spiritual milk you make throw up into salvation. On the face of this this not seems a bit strange why is pizza bringing this? Ashley seeking to deal with those five evil things that can so often light lines what it is and I lost as Believers I able to deal with those thing and put those things to one side and asked not to be involved in the end. He brings for the casseri powerful illustration in infants long for the pure spiritual milk so much. I'm not going to be hypocritical. I've not to be very mileage to anyone. I know it's me to see if that's true. But we don't do it in that way. We do it by looking to that pure spiritual but not for Pure spiritual milk is the word of God. What a newborn babies like when it comes to seeking that food is one that says they both expressed to be fed. Regularly. In fact newborn babies act as if life depends on the next feed likewise Believers by show that longing for the word of God.
Remember, my back was bored and the moment. She was bored. Joyce. She didn't shut up her lungs over sleep with pretty powerful and she cried and she did not send out until their breasts.
