The Spirit of Holiness & Power Ralph I Tilley

This book is about HOLINESS-about the power of the HOLY SPIRIT, who both cleanses and enables Christians to live a life pleasing to God. God has called us to holiness: "As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy" (1 Pet. 1:14-16). As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, we always need our faith stimulated to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. The following writings have been selected to serve as a vehicle in stirring up the reader to live a life wholly to the glory of God-from the inside out. This volume is mostly a compilation of articles that appeared in Life in the Spirit Journal, of which I was the editor for some 20 years. The selected authors represent a wide range among evangelical scholars, preachers, and writers, whose ecclesiastical identities vary: Methodist, Lutheran, Nazarene, Presbyterian, Salvation Army, Baptist, Nondenominational, etc. I pray that your mind will be challenged and your heart warmed as you read these selections.
