You see, the power of holiness is God’s power at work in us. It is not some spiritual battery pack that we recharge and discharge at our discretion. It is not the we become powerful in the Spirit, rather it is God’s Spirit that is powerful in us. The power of holiness is God himself in action.

Maddy and I moved to Frisby from New Romney at the end of 2007
As we were taking the bedroom apart, I was surprised to find a small basket underneath our bed with three eggs and £1000.
I was a bit puzzled and so I called Maddy and asked her what this was all about.
