Re: Teaching Holiness in the Church
"[But]a holy life is not just a dress code or a list of rules. A holy life is not legalism, Phariseeism, or bondage. In fact, a holy life is abundantly attractive to anyone who is sick and tired of sin and sincerely hungry for God. So please save your time and energy for the real battle -- stop worrying about winning debates with people who have walked away from truth and start working to disciple people who are walking toward truth!
What we don't need to do is create an Apostolic sub-culture of criticism, where we waste every second sermon bashing someone else. What we do need to do is teach our people how to live holy lives!"
