[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

'Holy God': what does it mean?
Good, perfectly pure and clean,
separate from any other,
awesome Lord, unique Creator,    
    holy and majestic Father:
    long to be like Christ our Saviour.

We should have desire and aim
to be holy, free from blame
in our conduct, conversation –
consecrated, dedication
    to our holy Lord and Father –
    long to be like Christ our Saviour.

Counted righteous, sanctified,
so with Him we can abide
– Jesus’ righteousness applied,
clothed, forgiven, our guilt He’ll hide.
    Now we want to live like Him,
    grow more holy, hating sin.

Tune: 77 77 77 eg Toplady (Rock of Ages) by Thomas Hastings (tune of 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me')

Beautiful Rhiannon! You are on the mark. Striving for total devotion to God.

The Oxford Thesaurus gives as synonyms for holiness

sanctity divinity godliness saintliness sanctitude sacredness faith devotion devoutness divines blessedness spirituality religiousness piety piousness righteousness goodness perfection virtue virtuousness purity perfection sinlessness

It has been warm and we've had our first rains of summer. There are national municipal elections on 4 Nov so that is a big thing in the news people have been extremely disappointed it will be interesting.

I am well, have a good week! See you! Nolan &

Thank you, Nolan. it is a good thing that God is also a Sovereign God in the affairs of nations, but he'd have us work and pray as well. And such a merciful and welcoming, saving God, too. Rhiannon
