What does it truly mean to be holy? Can we ever really achieve holiness through our own efforts? Join us in this thought-provoking conversation as we dive into the concept of holiness and the call to be holy in all aspects of our lives. We'll explore the misconceptions around holiness, the role of grace in our sanctification process, and the provision of holiness in Christ.

We'll discuss the common responses to the call of holiness, such as licentiousness and the belief that we must clean ourselves up before God will accept us. Discover how the victorious Christian life syndrome can lead to feelings of condemnation and the importance of understanding that holiness is more than just a matter of willpower. Learn how the thorn bush, a symbol of the cursed earth and grace, teaches us that the first step towards holiness is not to try to clean up our act, but to see and apprehend God's provision in Christ.

Additionally, we'll examine the pitfalls of striving for holiness through endless works and performance, and the importance of embracing God's unconditional love and grace to live a truly holy life. We'll also consider Philip Brooks' powerful acrostic G-R-A-C-E - God's riches at Christ's expense - as we challenge ourselves to shift our focus from our own efforts to Christ's work on our behalf. Don't miss this powerful discussion that will leave you inspired and empowered to pursue holiness through God's grace.

What happens when we encounter true holiness? Can we handle the light of God revealing our deepest sins, or do we shy away from it? Join us as we explore the powerful experience of the prophet Isaiah, who faced the Holy One of Israel and became an instrument for His work. We'll dive into the Old Testament and examine the role of prophets as prosecuting attorneys, pinpointing the sins of their people and calling them back to the Lord. 

Facing God's holiness is difficult, but through the recognition of our own fallen nature, true transformation occurs. We discuss the importance of brokenness in our walk with God and how, like Saul of Tarsus, we can find righteousness through faith in Christ. By humbling ourselves before the Holy One, we become usable instruments for His work. Listen in to discover the power of an upward vision of God, leading to an inward vision of ourselves, and the ultimate transformation that follows.
