"No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be." ~ A.W. Tozer, Preacher & Writer
"Nowhere can we get to know the holiness of God, and come under His influence and power, except in the inner chamber. It has been well said: "No man can expect to make progress in holiness who is not often and long alone with God." ~ Andrew Murray, Preacher
"Holiness has never been the driving force of the majority. It is, however, mandatory for anyone who wants to enter the kingdom." ~ Elisabeth Elliot, Missionaries
"We must be holy, because this is the only sound evidence that we have a saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ J.C. Ryle, Pastor & Writer
"God does not want you to become a God; he wants you to become godly – taking on his values, attitudes, and character." ~ Rick Warren
"The greatest test of whether the holiness we profess to seek or to attain is truth and life will be whether it produces an increasing humility in us. In man, humility is the one thing needed to allow God's holiness to dwell in him and shine through him. The chief mark of counterfeit holiness is lack of humility. The holiest will be the humblest." ~ Andrew Murray, Preacher
