LET'S TALK ABOUT HOLINESS!

Be holy. Don't be legalistic.
Holiness is pure, selfless and lovely. Legalism is complicated, selfish and loveless.
It's the devil that makes holiness unattractive and thus undesirable. God's kind of holiness is beautiful.
Worship God in the beauty of His holiness and receive His grace and Spirit to wholeheartedly love Him and live for Him.
Holiness is beautiful. Holiness is love. Holiness is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
It is only the Holy Spirit that can make us holy not the Law and not our religious rules and regulations.
The fallen self in humanity cannot be holy only the life-giving Spirit within God's true sons.
Be holy not as religious folks are holy but as God is holy. True holiness is the God-kind of holiness.
It is by the Spirit not of the flesh. It is a supernatural work of God's never-failing grace.
Make Jesus your authentic holiness model.
HOLINESS is the highest attribute of God, even more so than LOVE.
The angels in Heaven cry out "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the LORD God Almighty!" whenever they look at God on His luminous, great Throne.
The Spirit of God, sent to dwell within and help the children of God, is the HOLY Spirit.
God's Word says Righteousness is the foundation of God's everlasting Throne.
God clearly commands us to LOVE Him and Humanity; love being an action.
He, however, commands us to BE holy as He is holy; holiness being, first and foremost, a core nature, which consequently produces the fruit of righteousness.
This is the type of righteousness which exceeds that of the Pharisees or religious people.
The spiritual image of God is holy. The Christ-likeness of God is righteous.

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f

  What is Worship? Worship is reverential adoration and devotion. It is the deeply embedded heart attitude and habitual practice of holding highest regard, giving supreme adulation, paying unparalleled homage, rendering foremost service or according topmost dedication to someone or something.  Human beings were designed to worship.

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
