What Does Holiness Mean?

“Apart.
Sacred.
Separate.
Set apart for God’s use alone.
That which bears the Almighty King’s nature.
That which brings Him glory and honor.
That which reveals the beauty, preciousness, perfection of His majestic Person.
That which does not touch the flesh, imitate the manner of the flesh, listen to the counsel of the flesh, or take lightly the danger of the flesh.
That which is come out of the world, does not imitate the manner of the world, listen to the counsel of the world, or take lightly the snares of the world.
A life which belongs to God and is set apart for His pleasure and His glory.
That is what it means to be holy."

Katrina -
I am sure you heard about Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter's death. With all the happiness that was happening in their lives (engagement, graduation, birthday), this is such a deep tragedy. There are no words - only sadness - for now.

Actually, no, I had not heard of the death of Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter. I really only know of him by name only; I'm not even that familiar with his music. I am sorry to hear of the tragic event.
May God's grace be with them...
