Holiness

Holiness is a narrow road and its a middle road that winds its way between two extremes. On the one side of the road there is the idea that we live only for our own pleasure. On the other side, there is the idea that we must not taste or touch or engage in details of life for fear that we might dirty ourselves in the process. While both of these ideas are dangerous the latter is more so because it is an imitation of true holiness rather than an outright rebellion against it. True holiness exercises the fullness of the freedom God has granted us for His glory. Fake holiness shys away from the exercise of freedom out of fear because it is not motivated by love of God or people but by the zealous observance of rules and regulations.
