What Happened to Holiness? Personification with a Purpose
Something has happened to Holiness! In the frenzy of our activities, we don't see her around anymore. Actually, come to think about it, it look as if she has been gone a long while. We didn’t evict her; but since we only recently noticed her absence, it is evident we have neglected her. Yes, our Holiness is missing!
Why Don't You Grow Up?
The urge to grow is not unique to the natural world; spiritual life also demands growth. And similar to the natural world, if growth is not accomplished, stunting occurs. Christians must grow to not experience stunting.
What Are You Doing for God?
One Sunday, Dwight L. Moody, the great evangelist of two centuries ago was preaching at his church in Chicago. Suddenly he pointed a finger at a young woman in the pews.

Old Landmarks
The Old Testament empathically prohibited the removal of a neighbor's landmark. Moses commanded Israel, "Do not move your neighbor’s property line, established long ago in the land that the Lord your God is giving you” (Deuteronomy 19:14). So sacrosanct did Moses consider landmarks that at the crossing of the Jordan River, he issued a directive that the Levites were to loudly proclaim, among other things, "God’s curse on anyone who moves a neighbor’s property line” (Deuteronomy 27:17).

The discipline of the cross focuses all that we are or ever hope to be, all our possessions and desires, in Jesus Christ, our crucified and risen Master. He is our worldview. Though it may appear paradoxical to the carnal mind, it is our crucifixion with Jesus that authenticates our resurrection with Him. Like the risen Lord, our resurrection is validated by the marks of crucifixion.
Spiritual Warfare

Attaining Christian Maturity
Christians should primarily be concerned for the spiritual aspect of growth. The words of Jesus, when He was tempted by Satan to turn stone into bread, attest to this: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
