Importance is very subjective.

What matters to one person may be insignificant to another.

The Free Dictionary says,

im·por·tant  (ĭm-pôr′tnt)

adj.

1. Strongly affecting the course of events or the nature of things; significant: an important message that must get through; close friends who are important to me.

2. Having influence; prominent:

3. Having or suggesting a consciousness of high position or authority; authoritative:

What really matters?

How we respond to Jesus Christ is the most important issue we will ever face.

Responding to Christ does not end when He forgives our sins and we are saved.

Instead, a sincere releasing of our lives is the next response to His reign in our hearts—entire sanctification.

Out of a surrendered and pure heart comes the continual response of submission to whatever He says to us—He graciously gives us holy hearts in order to enable holy lives.

I believe that holiness matters.

The Holy Bible is literally the “Book on Holiness!”

The Church of the Nazarene, in particular, and Christianity, in general, needs a renewal of the powerful and transforming grace of God.

Why? Because holiness matters.

It matters to me, it mattered to our spiritual ancestors, it matters for those around us, and it matters to God.

This blog is birthed from the heart of one for whom the truth of biblical holiness has made all the difference.

The goal is to invite others to experience and explore the riches of God’s grace by way of scripture and personal testimony—this is my story.

I am more convinced now than ever—holiness matters!
