Holier Than Thou
Holier Than Thou
Why is it so hard to trust God sometimes?
We say we trust Him with our mouths, but often not with our lives. We live like God can't be trusted. Like He doesn't actually want what is best for us. Like He is just another person who, as Eve assumed in the Garden all those years ago, might hold out on us.
Bestselling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don't trust God- we misunderstand His holiness.
In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of "holy" as we've come to know it and revealing it for what it really is. In these pages, we will see that God is not like us. He is different. He is holy. And that's exactly what makes Him trustworthy. As it turns out, God being "holier than thou" is actually the best news in the world, and it's the key to trusting Him.
Jackie Hill Perry is an author, poet, Bible teacher, and artist. Since becoming a Christian, she has been compelled to use her speaking and teaching gifts to share the light of the gospel of God as authentically as she can. At home she is a wife to Preston and mommy to Eden, Autumn, and Sage.
I really appreciated Jacky's humble honesty in her desire to share the life-changing truths of God's holiness.
She consistently points us to the trustworthiness of God and the life He gives through His unchanging, faithful holiness.
If God is holy, He can never sin against us and if He can never sin, then He is the most trustworthy God in all eternity.
This is the message of the Bible put into a modern context.
