"He that sees the beauty of holiness... sees the greatest and most important thing in the world" - Jonathan Edwards
"Happiness, not holiness, is the chief pursuit of most people today, including many professed Christians. They want Jesus t...o solve their problems and carry their burdens, but they don’t want Him to control their lives and change their character. It doesn’t disturb them that eight times in the Bible, God said to His people, ‘Be holy, for I am holy,’ and He means it" - Warren Wiersbe
"If I had my choice of all the blessings I can conceive of, I would choose perfect conformity to the Lord Jesus, or, in one word, holiness" - Charles Spurgeon
In our effort to avoid being “holier-than-thou”, we’re not holier than anyone. The life of holiness is life as God's treasured possession, living at peace in His care. We are desperate for this life, and the world is desperate for God's holy people to show the way to the Holy One who is worthy of their worship.
