Cry for holiness

 

I just read recently about how the Church thinks that we need to bring sex into it. The article is here. Now while I believe sex is a God given gift reserved for married people only, I think we are focusing on the wrong thing. HOLINESS is a word that we as Christians need to here more than ever. We need to long for holiness, beg for holiness, and even cry for holiness. A lot of Christians will tell you that you are becoming legalistic when you start raising your standards on movies, music, etc.. in the pursuit of holiness after all they say God is a God of grace. Speaking of this so called grace they think that our God who is holy and righteous has some how lowered His standard on sin. I believe this is a lie from the pit of hell. If sin were to enter into  God's presence He would immediately destroy it by His holiness. You see holiness burns sin out of us, and instead of making us self righteous true holiness makes us look at how vile we really are 
Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?" In the book of Isaiah at chapter 35 verse 8 it says A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it. Let's all start walking on this highway of holiness and continue till we see Him in glory.
