To run hard after holiness is another way of running hard after God.

Sanctification is not by surrender, but by divinely enabled toil and effort.

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

When "everything is awesome" we may miss what (and Who) is truly deserving of awe.

My fear is that of all the choices people face today, the one they rarely consider is, "How can I serve most effectively and fruitfully in the local church?" I wonder if the abundance of opportunities to explore today is doing less to help make well-rounded disciples of Christ and more to help Christians avoid long term responsibility and have less long-term impact.

The seed of God's Word won't grow to fruitfulness without pruning for rest, quiet, and calm

Legalism is a problem in the church, but so is anti-nomianism. Granted, I don't hear anyone saying, 'Let's continue in sin that grace may abound'. That's the worse form of antinomianism. But strictly speaking, antinomianism simply means no-law, and some Christians have very little place for the law in their pursuit of holiness.
