Our Imitation of Christ

Our purpose in life is not just to root out sin, it is much more. It is to root in Christ, to let Christ take root in our hearts, to yearn to have Him grow and blossom within us, to produce fruit that is abundant and desirable. It is to recognize and use the humanity of Christ as an example for our humanity as we strive towards a closer union with Him.

    Holiness need not be spectacular; in fact, it should not be spectacular. It needs only to be Christ-centered in all the little acts of everyday life — in mowing a lawn, in cooking a pot of spaghetti; laughing, talking, singing, working and playing tennis or praying.
