The Holy River of God Quotes

“a lack of holiness is evidenced in three ways by those supposed to be God’s own people: (1) there is social injustice quietly sanctioned; (2) there is inordinate trust in the sword – their own money, traditions, talents, and influence; and (3) the people hide behind a life of false worship in which God takes no delight, no matter how good it looks, sounds, or even smells (Amos 5:21).”

“holiness points toward all that transcends the finiteness of this passing world. For us humans, holiness is being separate from evil, cleansed from fallenness, elevated to true Christ-likeness, finding a oneness with the life of God.”
