Holiness

I have been praying and reading trying to determine where God wants us to go this week. The thing that stuck out to me the most was holiness. Today, I was hit smack in the face with my past. I went to my Dad's for Memorial Day and low and behold there sat several people from my past. The memories that flooded my head the minute I spotted these people were devastating to me. As I thought on this time in my life, I remembered that this group of people that I hung out with, partied with, did all kinds of sinful acts with, claimed to be Christians. I haven't been walking with the Lord for a long time like some of you have but what I see saddens me. It breaks my heart to see people blinded by their own sin. With that being said, I would like for us to focus on Holiness; holiness in the Church, holiness in our personal lives, being set apart, consecrated to God as a body of believers not condoning anything that does not align with God's word.

Read Matthew 21:12-13 and 1 Peter 1:14-19

Father, you are a Holy God. Thank you for your love, your mercy and your grace. Thank you God for giving us a place where we can learn, pray and worship you freely. Jesus, I pray that you will help us to never take these things for granted. Lord that we will live holy and upright lives according to your word. Father, our actions in your house must be holy, clean and edifying. We cannot condone borderline events or acts of ungodliness. As a team (Pastor, Leaders and Members) let us uphold high standards in your house and in our own personal lives. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen
