Thoughts on God process of making believers more like Christ.

Growth in Christ takes God's power and our participation.

There is one doctrine we cannot afford to get wrong.

It's a beautifully strange journey. Cosmic and mundane. God's providence and blood, sweat, and tears; sovereign Grace working in and through the elect. A Holy God redeeming sinful man. A process for which we praise the glory of God's grace in Christ.

DeYoung calls holiness the new camping. I call it the new flossing. What everybody knows they need to do, but don't really want to do, and only does when they have to.

C.S. Lewis, in one of his letters wrote, “How little people know who think holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing…it is irresistible.” Jonathon Edwards commented, “Holiness is a most beautiful and lovely thing. We drink in strange notions of holiness from our childhood, as if it were a melancholy, morose, sour and unpleasant thing; but there is nothing in it but what is sweet and ravishingly lovely.” Ahhh. Abject, rapturous, captivating beauty.

Malachi 2:17-3:6 is all about a faithful Father (God) graciously dealing with His foolish children (His covenant people).
