The fruit is what really matters, not how gnarly or beautiful the apple tree is.

It is possible that we can get so busy doing work 'for' the Lord that we have no time FOR the Lord.

Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.

The God of the modern evangelical rarely astonishes anybody. He manages to stay pretty much with the constitution. Never break our by-laws. He's a very well-behaved God and very denominational and very much like one of us...we ask Him to help us when we're in trouble and look to Him to watch over us when we're asleep. The God of the modern evangelical isn't a God I could have much respect for.

Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us, yet if we withhold ourselves from that blood, we will be unclean forever.
