Holiness is the sum of a million little things — the avoidance of little evils and little foibles, the setting aside of little bits of worldliness and little acts of compromise, the putting to death of little inconsistencies and little indiscretions, the attention to little duties and little dealings, the hard work of little self-denials and little self-restraints, the cultivation of little benevolences and little forbearances.

Our first love is Jesus. Holiness is not ultimately about living up to a moral standard. It's about living in Christ and living out of our real, vital union with him.

You will not find what you want in the world, only in the Father.

To build your house on the rock is to hear what Jesus says and obey. To be foolish and build your house on the sand is to hear and ignore.

God is still here, God is still real, and God has not gone anywhere, even if you have.

The reason for your entire salvation, the design behind your deliverance, the purpose for which God chose you in the first place is holiness.

If we do not worship God, God will not be the lesser for it. But we will.
