  1. Call to Holiness I Peter 1:13-16

  2. “You can’t make sense of the Bible without understanding that God is holy and that this holy God is intent on making a holy people to live with him forever in a holy heaven. The whole system of Israel’s worship revolves around holiness. That’s why you have holy people (the priests), with holy clothes, in a holy land (Canaan), at a holy place (tabernacle/temple), using holy utensils and holy objects, celebrating holy days, living by a holy law, so that they might be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” – K. Deyoung

  4. “The level-headed Christian doesn’t let feelings overcome thought. His actions and feelings are kept under control.

Thus, at all times, he is able to act in accordance with his best judgments of what he knows from the Bible.” – Jay Adams

Are you trustworthy? Are you kind? Are you patient? Are you joyful? Do you love? These qualities, worked out in all the little things of life, determine whether you are blight or blessing to everyone around you, whether you are an ugly spiritual eyesore or growing up into a good-looking Christian.” – K. Deyoung
