STAND Ep. 4 | Stand in Holiness

Human beings have an incredible capacity for carelessness. We’re careless with our words. We’re careless with our actions. We’re careless with our finances. We’re careless with our thoughts. It’s not that we mean to do bad things or that we set out to cause other people harm. We’re just careless sometimes. If you were to think about the biggest regret in your life, it’s probably something you did carelessly. You didn’t think it through. We often pay a price when we’re not paying attention.

Contrast that with the Bible’s words about holiness. Though the idea of holiness can often overwhelm us, it’s not as complicated as we sometimes make it out to be. At its core, the Bible’s call to holiness is simply an invitation to pay attention. As Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:10, holiness is the call to “carefully determine what pleases the Lord.” In the letter to the Thessalonians, Paul reminded this young church that holiness is the remedy to the haphazard ways we’re tempted to waste our lives.
