What does it actually mean to live holy?Holiness isn't reserved for pastors, leaders, or the "super spiritual." As followers of Christ, we are all called to be set apart. But in a culture where compromise is normalized and the line between conviction and comfort can become blurry, what does pursuing holiness actually look like?In this episode, we're talking about what biblical holiness is, what it isn't, our relationship with sin, obedience, conviction, and the daily decision to become more like Christ.Holiness isn't about earning God's love or achieving perfection. It's the fruit of a life surrendered to Him."But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct." — 1 Peter 1:15We aren't called to blend in. We're called to be set apart.

Fr. Mike guides us through the last two chapters of Ezekiel, explaining the biblical significance of the water flowing from the right side of the temple, and how it foreshadows Christ's passion. He also emphasizes the imagery of the clay and the potter in Jeremiah, signifying how our lives are meant to be open for God to mold and shape, according to his will. Today's readings are Jeremiah 18-19, Ezekiel 47-48, and Proverbs 15:21-24. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

In this message, Samuel Goulet continues The Mountain Church's study of the seven churches in Revelation by focusing on Pergamum, Sardis, and Philadelphia. He calls the church to reject compromise, wake up from spiritual apathy, and step into the authority God gives His people through His Word and Spirit. With practical encouragement for families, church community, and personal discipleship, Samuel challenges listeners to live awake, repentant, and spiritually engaged—holding fast to faith, resisting the enemy, and trusting God to restore strength, purity, and authority where it is needed most.

The sermon emphasizes the urgent necessity of personal and corporate holiness as the prerequisite for genuine revival and the rapture. Drawing primarily from Isaiah 64, the speaker contrasts modern superficial Christianity with the profound awe, brokenness, and weeping exhibited by biblical prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah. The text argues that true spiritual power comes not from emotional manipulation or entertainment but from a deep reverence for God's holiness and submission to His will. It critiques contemporary evangelism for focusing on forgiveness without transformation and calls for a return to fasting, prayer, and sincere repentance. Ultimately, the message asserts that only through the consuming fire of the Holy Spirit can the church be purified and effectively witness to a lost world.

Life can feel uncertain, exhausting, and overwhelming—but you don't have to let fear determine your direction. There is hope for the weary, strength for the weak, and a path that remains steady even when you don't have everything figured out. Keep moving forward with confidence: you are not alone, and there is greater joy ahead than the struggles behind you.

Scrupulosity often looks like devotion — but when fear takes over, even our spiritual life can become consumed by doubt, checking, and the search for certainty. In this episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro continues the series on OCPD and perfectionism, exploring the difference between a healthy conscience and a scrupulous one, why mercy can be hard to trust, and how our experiences shape the way we see God. Holiness was never meant to be an endless audit — it was meant to lead us into relationship with the One who loves us. Key Topics: How reciting the truth about mercy in your head does nothing to change what your body still believes Why certainty about being forgiven is the one thing this pattern can never actually get Why confession, meant to bring peace, can quietly become just another form of checking How the voice you call your conscience might actually be a punishing voice in disguise Why the face you're afraid God is making at you was never really His How the saints wrestled with scrupulosity — and what finally brought them peace wasn't more proof Why doing this work alone almost always makes the pattern worse How the way out can feel too easy to trust Learn More: Previous episodes in this series on Obsessive Compulsive Personality Patterns: Ep. #290: "I'm Only Loved When I'm Perfect": The Lie Fueling Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Ep. #291: OCPD and Scrupulosity: How the Worship of Rules and Control Leads to the Loneliness of Certainty Episode referenced on spiritual bypassing: Why "Everything Happens for a Reason" Isn't Working: The Holy Words We Use to Avoid Healing Join us at the Summit of Integration this October in Dallas — launching the Year of St. John Paul II Start of the Being Human series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Need help?

What does it mean to live a life fully consecrated to Christ? How do we guard our hearts against the pull of earthly possessions and instead treasure what is eternal? In this episode, we explore the life of hymn writer Frances Ridley Havergal through the lens of Jesus' command in Luke 12:15 to "beware of covetousness." Best known for beloved hymns such as “Take My Life and Let It Be” and "Like a River Glorious", Havergal not only wrote about surrender—she lived it. From joyfully giving away her earthly treasures to using her gifts for God's glory, her life points us to the surpassing worth of Christ and the freedom found in wholehearted devotion to Him. As we reflect on her remarkable testimony, may we be encouraged to lay up treasures in heaven, trust Christ completely, and offer our lives as a willing sacrifice for His kingdom and glory.

GOD I WANT YOUR FIRE!What happens when the fire that once burned brightly starts to become nothing more than an ember?In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us to 1 Kings 18 and the moment when the fire of God fell on Elijah's altar. When the people saw the fire, they fell on their faces and declared, "The Lord, He is God!"God's desire has never been for His people to simply gather—He wants His fire burning in us.Throughout Scripture, fire represents God's presence, His approval, His power, His purification, and His ability to transform everything it touches. But while God sends the fire, we have a responsibility to keep it burning.Prayer is wood on the fire.The Word is wood on the fire.Praise is wood on the fire.Obedience is wood on the fire.Holiness is wood on the fire.The question isn't whether God still has fire.The question is whether there's still wood on our altar.This message challenges us to ask:• Has passion been replaced by routine?• Has worship become predictable?• Have we become comfortable with things that once convicted us?• Are we passing a genuine hunger for God on to the next generation?• Is there still a fire burning in us?God wants to burn away compromise, fear, indifference, addiction, and everything that keeps us from walking fully in His presence. His fire purifies. His fire transforms. His fire exposes. His fire empowers.And when the fire falls, people notice.God, I want Your fire.

What happened to the prophetic movement—and what will it take to rebuild it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with John E. Thomas, leader of Streams Ministries International (founded by the late John Paul Jackson) and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/John argues that the implosion of the prophetic over recent years is both the inevitable fruit of what was sown and the judgment of God—a purging meant to clear away defilement so a healthier generation can arise. He traces the warning signs back to the 1990s: creeping Gnosticism and universalism, divination dressed up as revelation, the loss of the fear of the Lord, and the teaching that imagination is revelation and discernment is unnecessary.The conversation keeps returning to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and why a clean "lens" is essential to perceiving what God is actually saying.In this conversation:Why the collapse of the prophetic was both consequence and divine judgmentWhy true prophetic ministry includes justice and judgment, not only comfort"Imagination is revelation" and other dangerous errorsEmotional atmosphere vs. the genuine presence of GodHow the medium we learn through shapes the way we thinkWhy intercession is core to the propheticThe sons of Zadok—and treating the holy as holyWhy holiness keeps the lens of the soul cleanRegister for Luminosity

Holiness is not a way for Christians to earn God's acceptance. It is the fruit of God's saving and transforming grace. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why holiness is essential for Christian living. He considers what it means to be set apart for God, why holiness must be distinguished from legalism, and how believers grow in Christlikeness through Scripture, repentance, obedience, and the work of the Holy Spirit. The pursuit of holiness flows from salvation rather than leading to salvation. The same Savior who justifies His people is also sanctifying them.

In this week's program, we continue our riveting journey through Leviticus with a message titled "Holiness," exploring what it means for God's people to be holy because He is holy. We'll look at the biblical meaning of holiness as being both whole and set apart for God, and how Israel's daily lives were shaped by God's call to remain clean and devoted to Him. But as religious traditions multiplied, the original purpose could become lost in rituals and regulations. Through the teachings of Jesus, we see that true holiness is not simply about outward actions, it begins in the heart and is expressed through a genuine relationship with God. Join us as we discover what holiness looks like for us today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

The man could levitate, read your mind, heal the sick, and appear in multiple places at once... but he never flaunted any of this, never sought the spotlight or fame or riches, never complained or argued when people persecuted him or called him a fraud. He simply served the Lord, was obedient to his superiors, and exemplified Jesus' words: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matt 19:26).

Holiness Is Essential for Christian Living By Dave Jenkins Holiness is not a way for Christians to earn God's acceptance. It is the fruit of belonging to Christ and being transformed by His grace. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why holiness is essential for Christian living, what it means to be set apart for God, and why the pursuit of holiness flows from salvation rather than leading to salvation. Many Christians hear the word holiness and immediately think about rules, restrictions, or a list of things they should avoid. Scripture presents holiness much differently. God calls His people to reflect His character, grow in Christlikeness, and pursue faithful obedience through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Listen or Watch   Holiness Flows From Salvation First Peter 1:15–16 says: “But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.'” Peter does not tell Christians to pursue holiness so that God will accept them. Instead, believers pursue holiness because God has already called and saved them. Christians are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, but the same grace that saves also transforms. Holiness is therefore not the basis of salvation. It is the fruit of genuine conversion and part of God's work of conforming His people to the image of His Son. What Biblical Holiness Means At its heart, holiness means being set apart for God. God Himself is perfectly holy, completely separate from sin, and morally perfect in every way. Because Christians belong to Him, they are called to live lives that increasingly reflect His character. This does not mean Christians attain sinless perfection in this life. Rather, holiness describes the direction of the Christian life as believers grow in obedience, repentance, and likeness to Christ. Holiness Is Not Legalism Biblical holiness and legalism are not the same thing. Legalism attempts to earn God's favor through human effort. Biblical holiness flows from God's favor already given through Jesus Christ. Grace does not remove the need for holiness. Grace produces holiness. The gospel not only forgives sinners but also transforms them. Hebrews 12:14 calls Christians to “strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” Romans 12:1–2 calls believers to present themselves as living sacrifices and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. Second Corinthians 7:1 likewise urges Christians to pursue holiness in the fear of God. How Christians Pursue Holiness Christians pursue holiness by remaining rooted in the gospel and dependent upon the grace of God. Begin with the gospel. No one can grow in true holiness apart from Jesus Christ. Spend consistent time in the Word of God. The Holy Spirit uses Scripture to shape, renew, and transform believers. Practice daily repentance. Growth in holiness does not mean never sinning. It means continually turning away from sin and toward Christ. Pursue faithful obedience. God uses ordinary, ongoing obedience as an important means of sanctification. Holiness Is Rooted in Union With Christ Ultimately, holiness is rooted in the believer's union with Jesus Christ. Jesus lived the perfectly holy life sinners could never live, died for their sins, and rose again to secure their salvation. Those who are united to Christ by faith are not only forgiven. They are also being transformed. The same Savior who justifies His people is also sanctifying them. Holiness is not the way Christians earn God's acceptance. It is evidence that they belong to Him.

True Biblical Worship vs. Strange Fire: What Does God Really Want? | KIB 543 DESCRIPTION Welcome to Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode #543 with Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake. What does God actually desire from those who worship Him? Modern Christianity often defines worship primarily through music, singing, emotional experiences, and church services. But Scripture presents something far deeper. True biblical worship is not merely an event we attend—it is a covenant lifestyle of reverence, obedience, holiness, truth, thanksgiving, humility, service, repentance, and wholehearted devotion to God. In this episode, Dr. Michael Lake examines the biblical theology of worship from both the Old and New Testaments. Psalm 24 reveals the necessity of clean hands and a pure heart, while Jesus declares that the Father is seeking those who will worship Him "in spirit and truth." This teaching also confronts a serious problem within modern Christianity: worship can become religious performance while the believer's daily life remains disconnected from God. Scripture reveals that obedience itself is worship. Holiness is worship. Serving others can become worship. Thanksgiving is worship. Repentance restores true fellowship with God. Even studying Scripture to discover what pleases God becomes an expression of devotion to Him. Dr. Lake also examines Cain, Nadab and Abihu, Saul, Uzziah, and Israel's golden calf to demonstrate a sobering biblical principle: sincerity does not give humanity the authority to redefine worship. God determines how He is to be worshiped. The episode concludes with a warning that much of contemporary worship risks producing "strange fire" rather than Christlikeness—and a call for the Remnant to return to worship that transforms the worshiper and exalts God alone. IN THIS EPISODE: • Why worship is a lifestyle rather than an event • What it means to worship God in spirit and truth • The Hebrew and Greek concepts behind biblical worship • Why obedience is an act of worship • Why God requires holiness from His worshipers • The relationship between thanksgiving, praise, and worship • Why biblical study itself can become an act of devotion • How religious performance can replace genuine worship • Why worship must remain God-centered rather than man-centered • Cain, Nadab and Abihu, Saul, Uzziah, and unauthorized worship • The danger of "strange fire" in the modern Church • How true worship produces transformation and Christlikeness • Why worship and obedience are powerful components of spiritual warfare Mary Lou also discusses prayer, spiritual warfare, and the importance of recognizing that the heavens belong to Almighty God—not the powers of darkness. The episode opens with a call for believers to respond to spiritual opposition by declaring biblical truth and magnifying the Creator rather than fearing the enemy.

August 11th, 2026:  St Philomena, Virgin & Martyr;  St Clare - Clear Vision of Holiness;  St Philomena - The Wonderworker;  St Clare, Virgin Extraordinaire;  Ss Tiburtius & Susanna - Know Your Saints

This message takes us on a study through Revelation 2:18-29, examining the Church in Thyatira — its commendable works but fatal compromise with false teaching, idolatry, and immorality centered on a Jezebel-like prophetess. The message stresses God's holiness, the seriousness of tolerating sin, the call to repentance, and the promise to those who overcome.

How does the gospel transform a single life into a testimony that points countless others to Christ? Together we are reminded that our hope is found not in human eloquence or ability, but in faithfully looking to Jesus Christ and proclaiming Him to others. From Spurgeon's dramatic conversion through the simple preaching of Isaiah 45:22, to his lifelong ministry centered on the cross, we see that the power of God rests in His Word and Spirit. As we consider Christ's command to "go to offenders," we are challenged to pursue those who have offended us with humility, forgiveness, and a longing for restoration, reflecting the Shepherd who seeks His wandering sheep. Even amid suffering, criticism, depression, and physical affliction, Spurgeon's life testifies that God's grace is sufficient. May we likewise rely on Christ, live out His commands with love, and seek to make our lives not only a testimony of what we say, but of what we faithfully do for His glory.

The message of Galatians has been that we are justified before God by the merits of Christ that we receive by faith, and not by our merit achieved by keeping the law. Now we hear that we are made holy by walking in the Spirt who we have also received by faith. The grace that sent Christ to the cross to save us from our sins is the grace that sent the Holy Spirit into our hearts to make us holy like Christ. Let's respond to this grace by faith and keep in step with the Spirit. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

As we wrap up our series on Holiness, it's worth looking at what the Bible says about how God rewards us in eternity. Is it like a payday? Do some receive greater rewards? Are we actually rewarded for our degree of holiness? The Word of God will challenge us and comfort us if we look into it carefully for the answers. Hosted on Acast.

Summary Peter's call to believers in 1 Peter 1:13–21 is both deeply theological and intensely practical. Because Christ has secured our salvation, Christians are called to live differently. Michael Easley explains that biblical hope is not wishful thinking but confident trust in the finished work of Christ and the grace still to come. That hope begins by preparing our minds, remaining spiritually alert, and intentionally focusing on eternal realities instead of temporary distractions. Holiness is not merely avoiding sin or following religious rules. It is becoming more like the God who has called us. As children of obedience, believers are invited to leave behind former patterns of life and increasingly reflect God's character through everyday choices. This transformation happens through God's Word, the Holy Spirit, and faithful community. Peter also introduces the tension of living with both fear and faith. Christians can confidently call God Father while maintaining a reverent awareness that He is also the perfectly righteous Judge. That holy fear produces humility, obedience, and faithful living rather than anxiety. Ultimately, our motivation is the staggering cost of redemption. We were not purchased with silver or gold but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Remembering that priceless sacrifice fuels lives marked by hope, holiness, obedience, and unwavering trust until Christ returns. Takeaways Biblical hope is confident trust in Christ's finished work, not wishful thinking about the future. Preparing your mind for action is essential to living faithfully in a distracted world. Holiness is becoming more like Christ, not merely trying harder to avoid sin. God calls His children to leave behind former patterns of life and pursue obedient living. Reverent fear of God strengthens faith by producing humility, obedience, and eternal perspective. The precious blood of Christ reminds us that our salvation came at an immeasurable cost and should shape every part of our lives. To read 1 Peter, click here.

Fr. Mike expands on the passage we read in Proverbs, and emphasizes how important it is to surround ourselves with people who are striving towards holiness. He also reflects on the book of Isaiah, and how these last couple of stories show that God's justice is always aligned with his infinite mercy.

Recorded on August 9, 2026, this episode of The Mountain Podcast features Samuel Goulet continuing the Culture series with a powerful message from Revelation on the churches of Ephesus and Thyatira. Samuel challenges listeners to let Jesus examine the “lampstand” of their lives—rekindling intimacy, restoring love, and refilling the oil of the Holy Spirit—while also learning how to walk in holiness by refusing to tolerate what God wants to remove. With practical insight, humor, and a strong call to spiritual renewal, this message invites every listener to welcome the fire and love of Jesus into their home, family, church, and personal life.

Keeping the law of God is the key to happiness in life. This is a controversial statement—but you can prove it. The Psalms of David and the Psalter of Tara “The Pursuit of Happiness” “This Is the Life! Real Abundant Living”

Leviticus 18-20   Leviticus 18-20 is usually called "The Holiness Code." It details God's instructions to Israel for holy living in routine matters of everyday life. Holiness mean different, distinct, set apart for God's purposes. If Israel is going to be a holy nation (cf. Exodus 19:6), then they need to be different from the nations around them. They must be holy as God is holy.  BIBLE READING GUIDE - FREE EBOOK - Get the free eBook, Bible in Life, to help you learn how to read and apply the Bible well: https://www.listenerscommentary.com   GIVE -  The Listener's Commentary is a listener supported Bible teaching ministry made possible by the generosity of people like you.

“For the righteous Lord loves justice. The virtuous will see his face.” (Psalm 11:7 NLT) God reveals Himself to us in His Word. We know that God is holy because in Isaiah’s vision of Him, heavenly creatures declare, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies” (Isaiah 6:3 NLT). We know that God is righteous and just because Psalm 11:7 says, “The righteous Lord loves justice” (NLT). Holiness describes God’s character; righteousness and justice describe how He deals with humankind. These perfections that we find in Scripture aren’t just the result of God’s people seeing what they want to see in Him. Even the enemies of the Lord recognized His perfect attributes. In the book of Exodus, we read about Pharaoh, who hardened his heart by holding on to the children of Israel after the Lord had instructed him to release them. When the Lord sent a series of plagues to Egypt, “Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron. ‘This time I have sinned,’ he confessed. ‘The Lord is the righteous one, and my people and I are wrong’” (Exodus 9:27 NLT). From the very first verse of the Bible, we see that God is omnipotent, all-powerful. If He were all-powerful without being righteous, He would be just a celestial tyrant doing whatever He wanted wherever He wanted to do it. If He were righteous without being powerful, He would be unable to execute justice on this earth. But the good news is that God is all-powerful—and He is righteous. He can do whatever He wants, but He does the right thing in every situation. That includes the exercise of His justice. Unlike human justice, God’s justice is perfect. He doesn’t show favoritism. He doesn’t look the other way at certain offenses. He demands that wrongdoing and wrongdoers be punished. Scripture certainly bears that out. In Isaiah 51:4–5, God says, “Listen to me, my people. Hear me, Israel, for my law will be proclaimed, and my justice will become a light to the nations. My mercy and justice are coming soon. My salvation is on the way. My strong arm will bring justice to the nations. All distant lands will look to me and wait in hope for my powerful arm” (NLT). Deuteronomy 32:4 says, “He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is!” (NLT). And in Psalm 140:12, David confidently proclaims, “But I know the Lord will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor” (NLT). God’s justice leaves no room for appeal because He is righteous. Everything He determines is, by its very nature, perfectly just. Only our perfect heavenly Father can judge perfectly. And He wants His people to prize justice as well. Proverbs 21:3 says, “The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices” (NLT). And Isaiah 1:17 instructs, “Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows” (NLT). Justice matters to the Lord, and it must matter to us. Reflection question: What would seeking justice look like in your life?

Biblical Theology, Episode 09 Today, Hunter Beless is joined by Andreas and Marny Köstenberger to explore the biblical theology of sanctification. Together, they discuss what it means to live a life set apart for God, resting in the Spirit's transforming work while pursuing holiness in the context of the local church. As we grow in Christ, our lives become a witness that points others to God and his Word. We pray this conversation encourages you to depend more fully on the Lord as he faithfully accomplishes his work of sanctification in you. 03:00 The Importance of Biblical Theology 10:30 Understanding Sanctification 20:00 The Role of Holiness in Sanctification 29:00 Implications of Sanctification in Parenting 30:40 The Sermon on the Mount 36:00 Abiding in Christ 45:00 The Purpose of Suffering in Sanctification 49:15 God's Glory in Sanctification ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FULL SHOW NOTES⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ journeywomen.org/episode/grace-of-sanctification DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Where are some places we see examples of or teaching about sanctification in Scripture? Do you tend to strive for holiness—a set apart life—or do you tend to try to be relevant to the world? What are some ways in which you act as if your sanctification is up to you rather than a work done by the Spirit? What are some practical ways you can abide in Christ and his Word?
