Here is a great quote by Jerry Bridges in The Pursuit of Holiness
"Farming is a joint venture between the farmer and God. The farmer cannot do what God must do, and God will not do what the farmer should do.
"We can say just as accurately that the pursuit of holiness is a joint venture between God and the Christian. No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely no one will attain it without effort on his own part. God has made it possible for us to walk in holiness. But He has given to us the responsibility of doing the walking; He does not do that for us."
Good words for the day,
Curtis

Along these lines you may want to listen to a series of messages by John MacArthur on Church Discipline. You can hear them on Oneplace.com There are many thought provoking things in regard to this subject and how it would cause holiness in our personal life as well as the Body of Christ.
