“Holiness in the whole sense of the word means a life focused around God both internally and externally. Next Christians show their lack of holiness by accepting sin as a way of life instead of an evil to overcome.”
“One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.”
“O holy Sunday, let your darkness not come along my way. Let her nurture internal and external world, as I start my personal day.”
“Holiness is new affections, new desires, and new motivs that then lead to new behavior. If I don't see my sin as completely forgiven, then my affections, desires, and motives will be wrong. I will just aim to improve myself. My focus will be the consequence of my sin rather than hating the sin and desiring God in its place. Holiness is not new behaviors. Holiness is new affections...it is found in our desire of the Holy One”
“The sedentary life...is the real sin against the holy spirit.”
“As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin; and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin.”
