Your love should be so far reaching, earnest, biblical, Christ-centered, pure, and self-sacrificing that the world may hate you for it.

Let us shout of our God from the rooftops, that the whole world would stand in silence before him.

Christians often equate holiness with activism and spiritual disciplines. And while it's true that activism is often the outgrowth of holiness and spiritual disciplines are necessary for the cultivation of holiness, the pattern of piety in the Scripture is more explicitly about our character. We put off sin and put on righteousness. We put to death the deeds of the flesh and put on Christ. To use the older language, we pursue mortification of the old man and the vivification of the new.

Sooner could a fish live upon a tree than the wicked in Paradise.

The secret of the gospel is that we actually do more when we hear less about all we need to do for God and hear more about all that God has already done for us.

Not only is holiness the goal of your redemption, it is necessary for your redemption

Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God's glory.
