#holiness (lacking)

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

"The standard of practical holy living has been so low among Christians that very often the person who tries to practice spiritual disciplines in everyday life is looked upon with disapproval by a large portion of the Church. And for the most part, the followers of Jesus Christ are satisfied with a life so conformed to the world, and so like it in almost every respect, that to a casual observer, there is no difference between the Christian and the pagan." - Hannah Whitall Smith

Say not that you have royal blood in thy veins, and are born of God, except you can prove your pedigree by daring to be holy.
