    The New Testament calls upon Christians to be holy, as God is holy. Is that even possible? Does a single sin nullify our holiness irrevocably? What does the phrase mean, and how are we to respond?

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

Now, that's a good thing to do, but ...read more
