Holiness, Are You Serious?

It is becoming evident that sinful behavior, while acknowledging it as sinful, is yet viewed as being somehow permissible or excusable.  A spirit of sin tolerance and moral negligence has pervaded the Church.  Complacency has set in and contaminated its core.  The answer and correct response is neither religion nor legalism but can only be repentance and the love of God.  Who has propagated the mentality that real Godliness and true holiness is some lofty concept that we should point to but could never attain?  …that as long as we believe in Jesus while we admit to our fallacy and confess our failure to live up to the standard he set for us by his own example, that he would overlook our sin. When the scripture says, “Be ye holy for the Lord your God is Holy.” is God just taunting us or does he expect us to obey him.
