HOLY CHILDREN OF GOD
Because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:16 Holiness defines the Christian new nature and conduct lifestyle. God is the fountain of holiness and He ask us to "Be ye holy; for I am holy". We serve a Holy God and we must treat Him and His Word with respect and reverence. When we live like Him we glorify Him best. We are being like Him. God asked His children to be holy. We are to strive to be like God in all our ways. We must not only submit to God's commands but seek to imitate his holiness. Sanctification comes along with the adoption into the family of God. Therefore we must abstain from all worldly appearance. We must watch and pray against the sins to which we are inclined. The word of God is the surest rule of a Christian's life, and by this rule we are commanded to be holy every way. The Word will purify the soul. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. -2 Corinthians 7:1
Be ye holy; for I am holy. Because it is written we must submit to God's commands and seek to imitate his holiness. 'For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth. -Leviticus 11:44 For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. -1 Thessalonians 4:7
"Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. -Leviticus 19:2 You shall consecrate yourselves therefore and be holy, for I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 20:7 ...but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior. -1 Peter 1:15 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. -1 John 3:3

Faith of Elijah
Elijah came near to all the people and said, "How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word. 1 Kings 18:21

Luke 16:9 "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
Luke 16:11 "Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?
Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10

Time To Make A Choice
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. -Matthew 6; 24 Is money your idol? Riches, money or any thing loved or sought more than God will not work. If God be not the object of supreme trust, something else will be, and it is more likely to be money. Let us be careful as Christians to not trust, or put confidence in money and riches as worldly ones do. -- do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4 We cannot serve two masters. We must choose. God & the World will never agree! Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. You can have God and riches, but you must only serve one of them. If our very best things are in heaven, our very best thoughts will fly in the same direction!” Where God reigns, the lust of gain must go! We can live for this world, or live for the next; but to live equally for both is impossible! Let us serve one only! I choose God.

WE NEED YOU LORD
Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Your law. Psalm 119:18
Why stand you afar off, O LORD? Why hide you yourself in times of trouble? Deal bountifully with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word. I am a stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.
When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? When he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only: We must call on Him in the day of trouble: He will deliver us, and we shall glorify Him.
Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.
You have heard; look at all this. And you, will you not declare it? I proclaim to you new things from this time, Even hidden things which you have not known. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. Now in Christ Jesus we who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of Christ. Psalm 10:1 119:17, 19 Ps 50:15 Job 34:29 Jer. 33:3 Isaiah 48:6 Jer. 29:12 Ephesians 2:13

HOW AWESOME HE IS
Our Awesome God
1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
