Holiness

Wow! What an awesome Service we had this Sunday. I pray every one had a relaxing and refreshing Memorial Day. I relaxed with my family. It was a much needed break. 

Don't forget one week from this Wednesday we have our first Life group/bible study on June 3rd, 2009 @ 7:30 P.M. More information will be given this week.

I wanted to talk to you about Holiness. It's a word that most people avoid, or don't understand. Holiness is not just an action, but a state of being. The bible states in Genesis 15:6 (King James Version)And he ( Abraham) believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Righteousness is simply being right in the eyes of God. This brings God's holiness into our life. 

By ourselves we are not able to obtain the holiness of God. He is the one that keeps, surrounds, and protects us from that which is opposite and against His will. Abraham believed in the Lord and His faith in Him was counted as the righteousness of God. This brought God's holiness into His life. 

Isaiah 64:6 (King James Version)But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Without His righteousness, we are not able to obtain the abundant side of life. Today, take time and allow His righteousness to be in you. You do this by allowing Him (God) to touch areas that would hinder you and me from living life to the fullest. His will and delight is that we eat the good of the land. 

You and I were born to live as Champions, but without His holiness operating in our life, we will fall short.

Live like a Champion and allow His holiness to reside in you. 

God Bless,

Pastor
