DAY FIVE: Holiness is sacrifice We talk a lot about the loving sacrifice Jesus made for us so that we would not have to pay the penalty for our sins. But someti...mes we forget to talk about the sacrifices that we need to make while following Jesus. Ok, maybe we dont actually forget, maybe we just decide to not talk about them or pretend like they dont exist. Holiness is sacrifice because Holiness goes against every natural desire of our human bodies. Are you ready to rough it? may not have been Jesus exact words but those 5 short words pretty much sum up the Christian life. Its not all skittles and rainbows, its not all happiness and perfection, its trials and hard climbs and tears and dusting yourself off and claiming Jesus and His holiness over and over again. Are you ready to rough it? Read: Luke 9:43-62 Write: Make a list of some of the things in your life that you find really hard to sacrifice. Pray: God, show me the ways I can sacrifice more for you. Do: Pick one thing on that list and figure out what you need to do to give it up. Maybe its a simple decision, maybe its replacing the habit with something else, maybe its simply praying that God will help take it away. ~Captain Bhreagh Rowe - - - #WomensMinistries #HolinessChallenge #LookIntoHisHoliness #TakeTimeToBeHoly #SalvationistWomen

Salvation Army officers, soldiers, adherents, employees, volunteers and friends: we need you!

DAY THREE: Holiness is hard Dont be fooled by the pretty pictures with the bible and the scriptures and the simple definitions. Holiness is hard. Going against... the flow, swimming upstream while everyone is drifting down is not easy. Sometimes, depending on where you are and who you surround yourself with, true Godly Holiness can be lonely and make you feel like a crazy person. I wake up in the morning with the best intentions to be kind and loving to my husband, to be patient and caring to my children and to try and find those little moments throughout my day to share the love of Jesus with others. Usually by the time I get my kids out the door for school my holiness has been tested, Ive already yelled once at my husband and now I am to talk to someone about Jesus? No thanks, I just want to keep my head down and get the day done. Nothing that comes with holiness is the natural way we do things. Holiness is hard. Its a choice that we have to make about 50 times before the kids get out the door and another 50 before lunch. Its hard but its worth it. Read: Colossians 3:1-17 Write: Make a list of the things that stop you from perusing holiness every day. Maybe they are found in verses 8 or 9. Pray: God, help me identify and work on those things I get entangled in each day Do: Pick one thing from the list you made and tell someone about your struggle. Accountability is the BEST thing we can do for ourselves. ~Captain Bhreagh Rowe - - - #WomensMinistries #HolinessChallenge #LookIntoHisHoliness #TakeTimeToBeHoly #SalvationistWomen

DAY TWO: Holiness as a lifestyle My life is pretty ordinary, I pretty much do the same thing every day and sometimes that can be really mundane. If youre a mom..., those simple tasks of motherhood seem to never amount to anything. Maybe you work and feel like its a wake, work, repeat kind of scenario. How about those who maybe are older (and much wiser) and are feeling forgotten or like their glory days are over? Where ever you are at in your life know this these simple mundane and sometimes annoying tasks of life can bring about holiness to the fullest extent. God asks us to take our ordinary lives - our cleaning, cooking, working, parenting, grocery shopping, laundry and falling asleep on the couch lives and intertwine holiness all throughout our days. Hand those moments over to Him and watch how cooking a meal and cleaning the house turns into serving others, how loving on and caring for kids turns into teaching and discipling, how grocery shopping turns into evangelism and how falling asleep turns into sabbath. God asks us to surrender our lives to Him and then watch how those tasks we see as worthless turn into worthy acts of holiness. Read: Romans 12 Write: What are some key things described in Romans 12 about holiness that you struggle with? Pray: God, reveal to me which aspect of my life needs a little more holiness. Do: Write one goal for this 21-day challenge. After 21 days I want to see growth in this area of my life ____________ by showing more ____________. ~Captain Bhreagh Rowe - - - #WomensMinistries #HolinessChallenge #LookIntoHisHoliness #TakeTimeToBeHoly #SalvationistWomen

WEEK ONE: WHAT? DAY ONE: What is holiness? What is this thing called holiness and why does it matter?... In the simplest way, Holiness means to be set apart. God wants us to be Holy because He wants us to be different, unique, like fish swimming upstream when everyone else is floating down. Why? Because He wants us to make people stop and say theres something different about that girl, I want to know more! God has this beautiful vision and plan for us that we would dedicate our lives to Him and then craft our lives around our calling to share the love of Jesus with everyone and turn them into disciples. Holiness matters. Holiness is required. Holiness is hard. Holiness is a journey. Come along with us over these next 21 days to learn more about Holiness and what that means for your life! Read: 1 Peter 1:13-16 Write: What are 5 words that you would use to describe holiness? Pray: God, help me understand how you want me to be holy. Do: Invite someone to come along on the holiness challenge with you! ~Captain Bhreagh Rowe - - - #WomensMinistries #HolinessChallenge #LookIntoHisHoliness #TakeTimeToBeHoly #SalvationistWomen
