r U holy?

A nugget from Chip Ingram...

There's a world out there that is dying. Kids are shooting kids, marriages are crumbling, people are shacking up to avoid marriage, people are dying of diseases--all ultimately because they haven't heard compelling reasons or witnessed compelling examples not to! Christians are not providing enough salt of preservation or light of exposure in a winsome, compassionate way...

If all forty million Americans who claim the name of Jesus took God's holiness seriously, the entire country would be transformed in ten years. We know the enemy, and it's mostly us.


Do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:14-16
