A saint is one who God has separated from the world. He is to be holy in his conduct. The opposite of such holiness is a profane life. It is not possible for a child of God to persist in sin!

This great lesson by Jeremiah Cox argues that as we draw closer to God, we must become more and more holy in the life we life for Him. "Because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy.'" (1 Peter 1:16).

The danger of false perceptions
I am writing this short article while Debbie is driving on the highway between Diboll and Fort Worth. On Texas highways it is common for the speed limit to be 70-75 miles an hour. If you were to be driving in a residential area at that speed, it would be considered very reckless. If you were driving your car at 75 miles per hour, and had to weave in and around other cars going only 35-40 miles an hour, your perception of your own speed would probably scare you.
However, when everyone is going 75 or 80 miles an hour, (especially if you have been going that speed for quite a while), the perception is very different. It just doesn’t seem that fast! As a result, you have people who drive in an unsafe manner, despite the speed. They may tailgate, give insufficient space between cars when changing lanes, fail to use turn signals, etc. At 75 miles per hour!
Sermon: The Potter and the Clay
God is the Potter, we are the clay. We must allow him to prepare us for His use.

Sermon: Purity in Conscience
The conscience can be described as a moral computer. Scriptures clearly teach that we are to educate our consciences, and then always live in accord with what we believe to be right. To do this is to have a Pure Conscience.
Sermon: An Admonition to be Sanctified (2 Corinthians 6)
The text is an exegesis of 2 Corinthians 6. Paul adominishes the Corinthians to live sanctified lives, that the grace of God they have received will not be in vain.
