Weekly Character Challenge Two

I'm going to do two of these today since I never did last week's.

Holiness

"People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch towards prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide towards godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated." -D.A. Carson

"Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." -James 4:17 (NIV)
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." -James 4:17 (KJV, I think....)
