Holiness Sounds Scary... but it Isn’t

Holiness sounds scary. It doesn’t need to be, but to the average American it is. Our tendency is to say that holiness is something for the cloistered halls of a monastery. It needs organ music, long prayers, and religious-sounding chants. It hardly seems appropriate for those in the real world of this century. What words come to mind when you think of holiness. It’s almost as though holiness is the private way of life for an special group of monks, missionaries and martyrs. But nothing could be further from the truth.
