Excerpts:
“Holiness is not a series of do’s and don’ts, but conformity to the character of God and obedience to the will of God.”
“Our first problem is that our attitude toward sin is more self-centered than God-centered.”
“God has made provision for our holiness, but He has given us the responsibility of using those provisions.”
