Thought For Today

What does holiness look like?

True sanctification then does not consist in talk about religion.
True sanctification does not consist in temporary religious feelings.
True sanctification does not consist in outward formalism and external devoutness.
Sanctification does not consist in retirement from our place in life, and the renunciation of our social duties.
Sanctification does not consist in the occasional performance of right actions. (p. 32)
Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual respect to God’s law, and habitual effort to live in obedience to it as the rule of life.
Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual endeavour to do Christ’s will, and to live by His practical precepts.
Genuine sanctification will show itself in an habitual desire to live up to the standard which St. Paul sets before the churches in his writings.
Genuine sanctification will show itself in habitual attention to the active graces which our Lord so beautifully exemplified, and especially to the grace of charity.
Genuine sanctification, in the last place, will show itself in habitual attention to the passive graces of Christianity.

Quotes from the Past

Go and Tell Others

Christian people, here is the question that comes to us at a time like this. What is our attitude towards men and women around and about us who are not concerned about these things (spiritual things) who are heedless about them? Have we a sense of compassion for them? Do we know what it is to feel that we will do anything we can in order to make them have what we have got? This is the Christian position, so that, by nature, all who are in Christ have this missionary spirit, this desire for others to have and to share with them the thing that they themselves possess; it is inevitable by definition.

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones from Fellowship with God
