1. I was raised in a "HOLINESS" church culture with a long list of rules & dress codes. However, some of the people who "looked" holy, based on their outward adornment, had a long tongue, critical spirit & a condescending attitude towards others both saved & unsaved. #ThatsNotHolinessToMe #holiness
2. HOLINESS isn't something we accomplish & give to God. It's the Spirit's work in our lives. We must BE holy before we can DO holy. #holiness
3. HOLINESS is not attained, it’s produced in us by the Holy Spirit under Grace. It is the product of “imputed righteousness.” ( Romans 6:19) #holiness
4. Before LIFE happens to you, you preach "HOLINESS or HELL." Then you realize "HOLINESS THRU HELL" is a more accurate doctrine. God does a work IN you, so He can do a work THROUGH you. #holiness
5. HOLINESS is right. If nobody lives it. It's still right. #holiness
6. I'm thankful for where I CAME from, I'm just glad I kept COMING! I spent many years trying to DO holiness rather than just BEING holiness. #holiness
7. I can talk about it because I was raised in it! HOLINESS isn't long hair, no jewelry, jean skirts & no beards or mustaches! I've seen all that & those OUTWARD works won't fix what needs to be fixed on the INSIDE. HOLINESS is a heart that is PURE before God. It's allowing the DIVINITY of God to bring the DIFFERENCE of God within in you which affects your living. #holiness
8. The worst kind of pride is RELIGIOUS PRIDE — the kind that claims God’s blessing as a reward for superior HOLINESS or perfect rule keeping. The truth is, BLESSING is a gift of GRACE. If it’s stolen, earned or conjured, it’s not blessing...it’s something else. #holiness
9. God never builds a fence around HOLINESS because His HOLINESS takes care of itself. Truth is, anything He claims as His is holy. #holiness
10. HOLINESS leads to wholeness. #holiness
