Reflections with Andy - Judges 13 - Holiness

Today, we see the birth of Sampson. The angel who comes to his family tells them that Sampson is to be a nazirite.  He is to be set apart, no unclean food, no wine, no haircuts. He is to be different from all his neighbors. To be holy is to be set apart. As Christians, especially those of us from the Wesleyan family, holiness is our purpose. But we are to always remember that holiness is not so much focused on actions, but it is focused on love; loving God and Neighbor. What has often been called perfect love. That love of God, shed abroad in our heart, driving us from sin and pushing us to God.
