FROM THE SERVANT GENERAL
ANNOUNCING A NEW BOOK
July 11, 2020
Today’s reading: Psalm 93
Our theme this year is Built on Rock. It is about listening to and acting on the words of Jesus. Only then can we be like the wise man whose house, when buffeted by floods and winds, did not collapse.
Today’s psalm points us to a frightening picture of the chaos and rebellion that is in the world today. “The flood has raised up, Lord; the flood has raised up its roar; the flood has raised its pounding waves.” (Ps 93:3). Today we are pounded on all sides by the forces of evil, a roaring lion seeking to devour us. How can we stand fast? Only if “the Lord is king” can we be assured that “the world will surely stand in place, never to be moved.” (Ps 93:1).
God has given us His laws. Jesus has taught us his ways. The Holy Spirit guides us to divine truths. “Your decrees are firmly established” (Ps 93:5a). But do we know God’s ways? Are we taking on the wisdom of God? Do we understand God’s call to holiness? You might think you do, but there is so much more to learn.
In this regard, I have written this new book, “Set Apart (The Way of Holiness).”
The basic call to Christians in the world is to be holy as God is holy. Unfortunately, many Christians do not understand what this call is all about. It is not just being a good person. It is much more. To be holy is to be set apart. It is to set aside the wisdom of the world and take on the foolishness of God. As light is in contrast to darkness, as life is in contrast to death, so does one who is set apart live out godly conduct in a world of mundane postures.
- Finding joy in sorrow.
- Finding glory in dishonor.
- Finding wealth in poverty.
If our house is to stand, we must be walking the path of holiness. If we are to be a house built on the Rock that is Christ, we must strive to be like Christ. Only then can our house stand, for “holiness befits your house, Lord” (Ps 93:5b).
You have been set apart as holy to the Lord your God. Understand what it means and live it out.
