What pastors are saying

“Holiness, the holiness of God, that the saints gaze upon and stand before, is the coming of God to the place of the bereft and the utterance of need.”
“Holiness isn't a separation from everything. No, holiness is a coming closer, a deeper connection, a deep love with all of your heart.”
“Holiness is the attribute of God, and it is not our own attribute. Our righteousness, the scripture tells us, is like filthy rags.”
“Holiness, as far as we're concerned, refers to the purity and righteousness of character, the nature that we must have if we hope to approach God.”
“Our confidence for the future, and therefore for our present, is not our own righteousness. It's not our own goodness. It's not our own holiness. It's God's grace.”
