HOLINESS

                                                                   HOLINESS

Spurgeon said, "Holiness is not the way to Christ; Christ is the way to holiness."  "Better still, Christ is our holiness."

Jonathan Edwards believed that "every experience of God could be counterfeited except those with an insight into His holiness."

John Wesley’s definition of holiness “the loving God with all our heart and soul, and our neighbour as ourselves. It is love governing the heart and life, running through all our tempers, words, and actions.” 

Leonard Ravenhill "There’s a difference between changing your opinion, and changing your lifestyle."

 -"How can you pull down strongholds of Satan if you don’t even have the strength to turn off your TV?"

-"Is the world crucified to you tonight? Or does it fascinate you?" 

-"The question isn't were you challenged. The question is were you changed?"

-"Your doctrine can be as straight as a gun barrel—and just as empty!"
