The concept of holiness may seem a bit archaic to our current generation. To some minds, the idea is associated with an “holier than thou” opposed attitude. Yet holiness is very much a scriptural idea. More importantly, God specifically commands us to be holy (Leviticus 11:44).

God has blessed us with a new year; however, it may not be without challenges. The challenges of this year will require a stronger conviction about who Christ is and what he means to us as believers.
