You try to improve and grow in all kinds of areas.

Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss with one area of growth you shouldn't forget.

How much does it matter to you to be holy?

How much thought and attention and effort do you give to becoming holy?

Are you intentional about putting away in your life anything

that is not pleasing to God and living a holy life? It's Wednesday, October 17th, and this is

Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Thank you. with Nancy Lee DeMoss. Getting on an exercise program, enrolling in a class, reading a book on effectiveness,

all these things can be helpful.

But if you ever thought about beginning a process of growing in holiness?

Nancy will paint a picture of what that could be like. She's in a week-long series on holiness,

which is part of the 12-week series Seeking Him. I have a very good friend who's a runner.

That's one thing we don't share in common. But last year she

decided she wanted to run a marathon. She'd never run anything close to a marathon before. She's a little

tiny thing. And she started training months in advance to run this marathon. And oh my goodness,

this is a non-runner speaking, to watch the training,

the preparation, the focus, the discipline that she put into this. She would go out running early

in the morning. I mean, cold, rain, snow, sleet, it didn't matter. She went out when she didn't

feel like running. She went out when no one else was out there running.

And at times, I'm sure that's a lonely pursuit when you're just doing this on your own.

She ran when people like me sometimes thought maybe she was a little bit crazy.

She ran when sometimes she thought she was maybe a little bit crazy or a lot.
