We need holiness

In Deuteronomy we’re told—Deuteronomy 4:24, “For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.” My friend, you’re not going to play around and get very far with God. That’s the reason that there’s so much that’s phony today in our churches. And there’s so much that’s phony today in Christian service. My friends, I want to say it kindly, but I want to say it: You’re not serving God unless you’re letting Him cleanse and purify your life. We’ve forgotten this matter of holiness today, and we need a little bit more of it in our churches.
