Virtue: Godliness
Manage episode 355464992 series 3197191
Guys don't seem to think sin is that big of a problem in their lives. If they are not trapped in porn or doing something scandalous, there is a sense that the battle against sin is more of a skirmish than a violent war. In other words: guys have lowered the bar of holiness and minimized the seriousness of sin.
The call of holiness is far weightier than men realize. Guys need to change the way they view their lives by growing in the virtue of godliness.
My notes:
- Godliness is an abiding awareness of God and desire to please God in every thought, word, and deed.
- The aim of your life is not just to be less worldy, but to be holy.
- Men need to take on the 'priestly task' of making distinctions between clean and unclean, holy and profane.
- Growing in godliness requires changing your attitude toward 'small sins' - they are disrespectful and dishonoring to God.
Practice growing in godliness today by meditating on Leviticus 10:10. Take on the difficult task of making personal distinctions between what is holy and profane.
