Got some exercise this morning and listened to Matt Chandler’s sermon from 6/17/12. It was entitled Sowing, Reaping and Gospel Good from Galatians 6. I loved in the middle of the message when he pressed this idea so prevalent in some pockets of Christianity that holiness will just happen someday. That we will flip the switch and hear a sermon and the change will be instantaneous for sanctification. That will not happen. People who are allegedly called to ministry, for instance, don’t magically decide to not be lazy and start aggressively serving in the church once a church calls them to a position. If they are called that is their heart now and it should be seen now. This relates to our pursuing holiness. It’s sowing, then reaping. At any rate, take some time and listen to this word and be helped.
