A Pitiful People
Most people connected to the church seem to be mad or sad or both most of the time. Especially the groups who are focused on what they call “holiness,” because most of the people who focus on that are equating it with the following of behavioral rules.
Holiness is not good or evil, but relationship or ownership. It means “having been set apart”. What makes holiness good regarding us is to what and to Whom we are set apart: Yahweh and His work. Living in the privilege of being His and being yoked with His purposes in the earth should keep us under the influence of His fruit constantly. No one in the earth should be happier than us.
Be holy unto the Lord, and bear evidence of it by constantly pouring the fruit of His Spirit into the earth.
