Holiness Is a Doorway to Intimacy with God by John Bevere

10/14/2025

Video Description: "Are you desiring to experience the tangible presence of God? Listen to my sermon on Pursuing Holiness."

John first explores recent statistics, which indicate that many people in America are no longer praying faithfully, with many departing from the faith. John explains this is because many people are not experiencing the Presence of God.

People have lost their joy and strength because they have not experienced the Presence of God, due to a lack of Holiness.

John explains the difference between positional holiness and behavioral holiness.

He shares these relevant Scriptures that tie together holiness and the Presence of God.

Hebrews 12:14 (NKJV) "Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:"

John 14:21 (AMP) "The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him [I will make Myself real to him].”

He concludes the message by sharing the importance of the Holy Fear of the Lord and how we can live in that reality.

Our prayer for you is that you would walk in behavioral holiness, the passionate pursuit of a lifestyle that pleases the Lord, so that you can live in the Presence and revelation of the Lord every day, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

A Matter of Life and Death by David Stevens

8/3/2015

Does every human being have a right to dignity and life? Do some people exist for the use of others? What does it mean to be human?

In part five of "Doing the Right Thing," David Stevens shares that we are made in God's image and as such we have a stewardship responsibility over creation. Additionally, we have self-awareness, rationality, the ability to love and be loved, and the ability to communicate. These are but a few of the things that make us human.

So, how do we convince those who reject God and Scripture that it means something to be human - that human life must be respected and treated with dignity?

David tackles these hard questions by comparing the idea of dignity and life in contrast to the alternatives.

It is fair to say that Godly destiny starts with a life that is so precious that it must be treated with dignity in all situations. The purposes of God are inherent in all life - whether we perceive it or not.

If We Know What Is Right Can We Do It? - by Donovan Campbell

In part three of the "Doing the Right Thing" series, we hear Donovan Campbell discuss how we can know between right and wrong. He discusses the foundation of understanding morality as taught by the Marine Corps. Have you ever wondered how Marines use virtuous character to overcome selfish desires and instead create a culture of honor and nobility - and a willingness to die for others?

Donovan Campbell's provides a brief, yet moving, presentation of what it really means to die to self and live for Christ. It will challenge you to consider how you live. And in doing so, it answers the question of whether you can do what is right - and the conclusion is - absolutely - yes.

To unlock your destiny, you must begin to internalize a Christian worldview, which must include a discipline to do what is right. Your destiny awaits- so do right and live well, and be Christ to this hurting and morally confused world.

Return to Virtuous Living by John Stonestreet

Is a return to virtuous living possible? John Stonestreet tackles this issue in part four of "Doing the Right Thing."

He asks us whether we should add rules, incentives, education, or look deep within to achieve virtuous living. Ultimately, he rejects all of these ideas as the way for a society to return to virtuous living. Rather, he suggests that whether the battle for a virtuous society is won or lost, it is engaged by those who follow the long road of Godly obedience.

He informs us that virtue comes from the heart and is a muscle that must be exercised. By connecting love with habits, we begin to unlock our personal and societal destiny.

The Roots of Moral Authority by David Naugle

8/3/2015

In part two of the "Doing the Right Thing" presentation, we hear from David Naugle, who explains the philosophical ideas of what constitutes morality. Though many thinkers try to separate God from any discussion of morality, David Naugle does a great job of teaching us how morality is based upon a moral knowledge of God and Jesus Christ.

Sure, this is a deep intellectual presentation, but being grounded in our faith requires that we study. So, dig in and let your roots go deep in your understanding of why moral knowledge and truth are completely dependent on God. And as such, may you see how your Godly purpose is also grounded in this idea of "Doing the Right Thing."

Doing the Right Thing Trailer - by the Colson Center

Please kindly consider the role of Christianity in your nation. What does it mean for a society to have a moral framework from which to operate? Do you believe that societies with a Judeo-Christian culture are more or less likely to promote freedom and justice for all?

Let this brief trailer stimulate your thinking as you seek to align yourself with God's heart for a moral and just nation. Additional presentations regarding this subject follow.

Our hope is that this series will help you better perceive your own role in society and then occupy it with the full authority, grace and blessing you were born for. Understanding the need for a collective ethic, morality and holiness is an important part of being Christlike and is critical for walking in your purpose.

In this short video, the Bible Project provides an animated and fascinating way of viewing the Holiness of God. Beyond that, and with a little imagination, one can see how we all have a destiny to bring the purity of God to all of creation.

Have you been touched by the burning coal, so that you are now a carrier of God's Holiness? Can you see how the "mechanics" of your Godly destiny must include the "spiritual purity" of your life?

Holy Discontent by Bill Hybels

12/24/2014

In this video, Bill Hybels discusses Holy discontent, that thing that you can no longer stand. He encourages you to:

Look for that one cause that is beyond the general discontent you might feel as you see the suffering of our world. Your Holy discontent is that one thing that causes you great angst.
Search for the thing that causes that passionate burn within your heart - once discovered, you will find the same thing also burns in God's heart.
Feed your Holy discontent - don't medicate or hide from the discomfort - but rather let it drive you to take positive actions.
Let a sense of urgency cause a leadership state of mind to arise.
Partner with God to remediate the source of your Holy discontent.

In doing this, you will take an important step on the journey to your Godly purpose, and in doing so experience the Joy of the Lord, which will become your joy.

Have you ever wondered what proceeds vision? What is that passion within an individual, that internal source of power, which animates people to greatness? What frustrates a person to such a degree that they take action? What is the thing that you see that you can not stand anymore, your place of Holy discontent?
