About this episode
Pastor Coleman Philley discusses the relationship between God's mercy and holiness, emphasizing the importance of honest fellowship with God.
In a world that constantly tries to reshape God into someone more comfortable and manageable, John reminds us that we cannot separate God’s mercy from his holiness or forgiveness from repentance. The God who is light invites us into honest fellowship with him, but you can't have that genuine fellowship while intentionally walking in darkness. Are you managing darkness privately or walking honestly in God's light?
