A Christianity that costs nothing is worth nothing – JC Ryle

Cultural Holiness – Jerry Bridges
Many Christians have what we might call a “cultural holiness”. They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them.

Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God.
