Whatever Happened to the Sanctified Life?

According to the Word of God we have positional sanctification in Christ.  We have been set aside in Jesus to the Glory of God.  There is, however, this doctrine of sanctification in practice.  It is a theology of spiritual growth.  It is a theology of spiritual maturity.  Intense spiritual praxis is mandated by the Word of God, but it is alas negated by the culture of personal indulgence.  This one of the primary reasons that the church in the west has lost its dynamic social impact.
