CALLED TO HOLINESS



A clergyman once asked the poor children before him: "What is holiness?"

Thereupon a poor little boy jumped up & said: "It is to be clean inside." 

Could anything be truer?

1 Pet 1:14-15 (NLT):  “So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.  But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.”

“Whatever ‘call’ a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry.” -  Charles Spurgeon.

“Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you. -  Corrie Ten Boom.
