    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I guess this is where we differ. I don't find Brengle's writing complicated at all...petty straight forward actually. And ..... “This is the will of God, even your sanctification. . . . For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness,” and “Without holiness, no man can see the...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    So, this is another book by Brengle that I picked up yesterday. It is available on the net as a pdf file if you are interested. I think and hope we can all agree with the first page of chapter One that I will add here. (I added some bold to it.) "Helps to Holiness by S. L. Brengle...

However, I did catch up last night....(bedtime reading), which inspired me to do more researching, which I intend to share on Monday....maybe tomorrow...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Here's the first page of Chapter 5: "The Outcome of a Clean Heart. David prayed, ‘‘Create within me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Have you ever read Jessie Penn Lewis' autobiography? Called, "The Leading of the Lord: A Spiritual Autobiography"? Ask, seek, knock shouldn't be a one time occurrence. Remember, Jesus after healing the 10 lepers and only 1 came back to thank Him asked about the other 9. I believe He wants us to...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I'm going by the definition that Brengle gave..... You're right, that's not what it means, but that's one of the benefits...as well as much more!

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I agree! Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Jesus says: John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. I agree, we must be regenerated! Which means made clean (whiter than snow, Isaiah 1:18)...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Thank-you!! (The sad face was for "not many interested in holiness these days".) This is true but sad because "without holiness none shall see the Lord."

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The only One I want to "reason" with is the Lord. Isaiah 1:15-20 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I would agree, but you asked me.... and I replied.... Separation like this.... Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    What exactly do you mean by dead to sin? That I don't sin anymore? That's how I understand "dead to sin". When something is dead, there is no life in it. In which case, in all honesty, I don't try to sin, my heart is not to sin, but I certainly wouldn't/can't say that I don't sin. I would...

    What a wonderful, glorious day here!! So Chapter 3 is a real page turner!! This is just the first page of the 3rd chapter!! "CHAPTER III. Holiness: How to Get It. Holiness is that state of our moral and spiritual nature which makes us like Jesus in His moral and spiritual nature. It does not...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I believe regeneration is defined in the same sentence..."which washes away all the man’s guilt, and all the sin for which he is responsible." I don't have a problem with this definition. I also understand that one could see this as the beginning of the race of faith which could be the...

    I love this book...and I want to read more!!! "...this work is not to be a slow, evolutionary process, but an instantaneous work, wrought in the heart of the humble believer by the Holy Ghost. Blessed be God! And the Bible further teaches that the one thing needful on our part to secure this...
