"The hottest iron will soon become cold. It requires pains and toil to bring it to a red heat; it requires nothing but letting alone or a little cold water, to become black and hard."
Anon
"It thus appears that, as the Puritans used to say, the heart of holiness is holiness in the heart."
Matthew Henry
"Some make light of the precepts of holiness, because they hear them from men; but they are God's commands, and to break them is to despise God."

Andy Wilcock
Imagine as a child being told by a friend to come round to his house tomorrow at 4pm. At about 3.45pm the next day you suddenly remember about the invite while you are playing in the garden. You rush round to your friends house, still wearing your old clothes, shoes covered in mud and your hands caked in muck. You've always ended up playing in his garden anyway. When you arrive your friends mum invites you into the front room. To your surprise the room is full of friends from school. They are all in their best clothes, hair combed and polished shoes. Each of them holding a box covered in brightly decorated paper and a card in an envelope sitting on the box. Your friend is at the far end of the room opening one of the boxes, he has a badge on saying "Nine today".
How do you feel? ("I'm in the wrong place!" Maybe?)
How did Moses, Isaiah, Peter, James or John feel as they witnessed the glory of God revealed to them?
Catherine Booth
"It is the state of the soul which fixes the value of the employment."
Martyn Lloyd Jones
"I suppose if you were to be asked where the bible teaches the holiness of God most powerfully of all, you would have to go to Calvary. God is so holy, so utterly holy, that nothing but that awful death could make it possible for him to forgive us. The cross is the supreme and sublimest declaration and revelation of the holiness of God"
