Pursuing Holiness was established in 2012. We can clearly remember the days and nights when we would pray, worship and cry out for an authentic encounter with God. We wanted God’s presence and didn’t relent. We were hungry and thirsty for God, for truth and the biblical Christianity we so passionately read about in the scriptures and exploring the journey of the lives of the saints and fathers of the faith who had gone before us. Thus,
Pursuing Holiness was birthed from that place, in the midst of our disconnection with the heart of God; looking through the window into the beautiful garden of intimacy with Abba and knowing that there was more. There, outside of mediocrity, was freedom and a higher way of living that Christ purchased with His blood; beckoning us to come. Come, remain and abide with Me, come.
We don’t come as one of those who have attained perfection, but as a community in pursuit of the heart of God, who daily fails and falls short of the glory of God. We come as those who seek to learn, yet, at the same time are discontent with the shallow Christianity we have become satisfied to embrace. We write, not as philosophers or a theologians, but as a community who have encountered the living water that never runs dry.
We come like children still learning, but with a deep hunger and desire that one day we too will live in the full stature of Christ. So, when He comes, we also will look like Him. We come as broken vessels in need of a mighty saviour. We come empty, in need of filling. We come in our mess, yet not willing to redefine Christianity by our inabilities or carnal standards, but having the faith and belief that if God said it, He would bring it to pass.
