Holiness is not just for some select few spiritual giants; it is not just for pious people who sit around all day with nothing to do but โbe holy.โ... โEveryone who names the name of the Lordโ is called to live a holy life!
Nancy Leigh DeMossBrokenness is the shattering of my self-will - the absolute surrender of my will to the will of God.
Nancy Leigh DeMossInstead of fixing all your problems, God may be wanting to use your problems to teach you to trust and obey Him.
Nancy Leigh DeMossMark it downโyour progress in holiness will never exceed your relationship with the holy Word of God.
Nancy Leigh DeMossIt's bad enough for me to make choices that hurt my own relationship with God. How much more serious is it to be the cause of someone else deciding to sin? Not only must I choose the pathway of holiness for God's sake and for my own sake; I must also do it for the sake of others.
Nancy Leigh DeMossSin is more dangerous than wild bears, more deadly than blazing forest fires. Ask Nebuchadnezzar, who lost his mind because he refused to deal with his pride. Ask Samson, who was reduced to a pathetic shred of a man because he never got control over the lusts of his flesh. Ask Achan and Ananias and Sapphira, who all lost their lives over โsmall,โ secret sins.
