Living the Message Jan. 12

Holiness

The newt two weeks are reflections on the Songs of Ascent
(Psalms 120 -134)

There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for the long apprenticeship in what earlier generations of Christians called holiness.

Do you see what all this means--all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on. It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running -- and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes in Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in.

Hebrew 12:1-2A
