How do Our Hearts Grow in Holiness?

What are the hallmarks of holiness? Could they be radically different than the ideas of perfect piety and a conscience beyond reproach that immediately spring to mind? Might they rather be found in humility, service, and love? Chris Webb asks us to find our model for holiness in the life of Jesus.

Practice Staying in God's Presence

François Fénelon reminds us today that most of the struggles we face in the with-God life are not giant sins, but rather the seemingly inconsequential peccadillos that gradually drive a wedge between the life we want and the life we lead. He counsels running to God in every temptation, big or small.

Our Souls Thirst for the Living God

A kind of theme verse for us at Renovaré is the great words of 2 Corinthians 4:16, “So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.” Richard Foster draws us into this renewal that occurs within the invisible spiritual reality.

Walking in His Commandments

Wise and ever-timely, Polycarp joins us today to remind us of ways we can serve the Lord in fear and truth. When we walk in God’s commandments and love what he loves, we will keep ourselves in right relationship with God and others. We will become, like Polycarp, bearers of “many fruits.”
