Irresistible

How little people know who think that holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing... it is irresistible. -- C.S. Lewis

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

Fleeting Happiness or Forever Holiness

Let us once again hear a truth which our narcissistic age overlooks:
For it is not possible, in the nature of things, that a man should be happy who is not holy.
-- John Wesley

...those who are not holy will not see the Lord.
-- Hebrews 12:14b (NLT)

Lord, help me to know that Your highest goal for my life is not fleeting happiness, but forever holiness.

...And Holiness...

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord...
-- Hebrews 12:14 (KJV)

More Than a Holiness Theorist

When it comes to the holy life, I want to be more than a theorist, I want to be a practitioner, yes one who not only thinks and talks about holiness but one who actually participates in and proves holiness to be real. More than learning holiness, I want to live holiness.

...live holy lives, because if you don’t, you will not see the Lord.
-- Hebrews 12:14b (GWT)

Victor Or Victim?

Lock arms with Jesus and become a victor in holiness
or lock arms with Satan and become a victim of sin.

If you're not walking in holiness, you're not walking where God wants you to walk. The very nature of God can be ours.

May A Holy New Year Be Ours!

It's almost one-hour into the New Year here in the Eastern Standard Time Zone of the World. A penny for my thoughts? Well, presently I am recalling some powerful thoughts pertaining to the words "happy" and "holy" that are demanding attention in the depths of my mind:

Our temporary happiness is whatever it is at any one given moment in time, but Jesus really was crucified to impute (credit) and to impart (give) to us His timeless holiness -- to truly sanctify you and me in our time, for all-time, and for Eternity.

Lord, as we look ahead to a New Year, beyond being happy, that is, beyond being temporarily satisfied, let us seek first and foremost to be holy, that is, to seek the pinnacle of Your will for our lives -- to be truly sanctified. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
-- Words of Jesus John 17:19 (NIV)

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (24) The One Who calls you is faithful and He will do it.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (NIV)

Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without Holiness no one will see the Lord...
-- Hebrews 12:14 (NIV)
