When were young, certain words or ideas can seem big, bad or burdensome, like responsibility. It makes us think of cutting grandmas lawn or doing chores when we dont want to. However, as we mature, we see its importance. Its response-ability, using my abilities to consistently respond to the situations around me in a way that honours God and others. Holiness can be like that too, even as we get older. Initially, we think its about perpetual moral perfection or a lack of joy. This is often rooted in a mis- (or partial) understanding of what it means. To be holy is to be set apart (distinct) for Gods special purposes. This sermon on 1 Peter 1:13 - 2:12 takes us through the text and encourages us to see holiness in a very positive light. After all, God said: Be holy, for I am holy. It looks at four aspects of holiness which stand in contrast to the prevailing mood of our culture today. As it says in the Rule of St. Benedict: Live as a stranger to the ways of the world, and place nothing above the love of Christ.
