1:10 HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD, YE
RULERS OF SODOM; GIVE EAR UNTO THE
LAW OF OUR GOD, YE PEOPLE OF
GOMORRAH. (Jeremiah 9:25,26).
God addresses Israel as Sodom and Gomorrah
because their sins had made them as morally
corrupt as these infamous people and invali-
dated the covenant so long as they remain
content in corruption. Here again we see the
conditional nature of the promises of God. Precept/Promise
As their morals changed, so did God's re-
lationship change with them. The God of love
becomes the God of wrath. Actually it is not
He who changes, but our morals that change,
and that predetermines everything between
ourselves and God.

Flattery (praise) without holiness get's us
nowhere with God!
The praise philosophy has emptied over into Praise Cult
our personal experience with Christ also.
Worldliness and morality gets worse as
emphasis on praise and "love" gets stronger.
By excluding proper emphasis of holiness,
fundamental theologians have created a subtle
change of practice. Religious experience is
migrating from God elevating man by grace, to
man elevating God in praise as a premise of
divine approval. We have developed a
generation of gushy Christians who have
developed a high tolerance for sin, who
believe they are saved and accepted of God so
long as praise (without piety) remains. What
a shock millions are in for on trumpet day!
Jesus uses very clear language when again and
again He exhorts, "Why call ye me, Lord,
Lord, and do not the things I say?" The Obedience

obedience ... not an experience produced by
stimulating the emotional base of man. Again Love
He said, "If you love me, keep My command- Commandments
ments." And then ... "happy are ye if ye do
them (His commandments)."
In Isaiah we learn that God warned the people
ISAIAH SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS

of Israel to stop coming before Him in the
solemn feasts (to praise and worship) so long
as they remained detached from obedience to
the moral commandments. His lordship is
established in obedience, not worship or
faith. See Matthew 7:22. You see, God,
unlike we humans, doesn't puff all up when
you praise Him. He has myriads of angels
praising Him in the heavenlies throughout the
eternities. The beauty in praise is that the
one who praises God is walking in agreement
with Him and that there is an Enoch-like
relationship going on where God and I
together are malcontent about the sin and
sickness blighting the world ... about the
disobedience of man ... about the apostasy in
the church ... this is what makes me the
friend of God, this is what makes my love and
praise to God valid. But we praise men and
create nice pleasant relationships based on
that praise and think we can pull the same
trick with God, but it doesn't work!! We
transmit our sick smooth ideals that work on
people over into our relationship with Jesus
- and He is offended by it! "Thou thoughtest
I was altogether such a one as thyself."

Here is a large portion of scripture reveal-
ing in clear language the importance indeed
that God places on body holiness and
adornment. It genders pride and destroys the
purity of Christianity. It is in this area
of self-aggrandizement the carnal church
violates the commandments that pertain to the
body.
Here Isaiah describes how the proud display Worldliness
their scandalous vanities. It is apparent
that materialism controlled their thinking.
Here is very plain holiness preaching by
Isaiah that many modern preachers would not
tolerate.
Paul and Peter both warned the church against Holiness External
practicing the world's fashions that accentu-
ate the sensual beauty of the human body. Personality
This careless display of self-attraction only
reveals ones fascination with the world and
love for self. Self-deification has always Self-Deification
been an obnoxious thing to God. I Timothy
2:9; I Peter 3:2,3. There are many moral
commandments prohibiting it.
ISAIAH SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS
____________________________________________________________
The scripture here is quite elaborate in Holiness External
giving a description regarding the external
conduct of these religious people. If it is
true, "What's on the outside is not
important," every inner virtue has external
manifestations while every inner evil, such
as, worldly glamour, immodesty, sensualness,
selfishness, haughtiness - all of these vices
manifest themselves visibly as do the
virtues. If "what's on the outside doesn't
matter," then those who spend so much time
and money adorning themselves shouldn't be
spending so much time and money doing so.
The modern liberal Christians manifest their
vices by their showy and ostentous taste -
the same kind of elite deviants Isaiah is
describing here. I Corinthians 13:4.
Obsession with fashion and beauty is the
concern of an evil mind.
A national radio evangelist from California Holiness Critics
cried out to his radio audience, "Whatever it
takes to make you beautiful - do it! Some Others
women look like unmade beds!" (Laughter from
the congregation.) *1
With no regard to the many passages that
teach against sensual vanities, modesty,
extravagance, and sensual beauty, thousands
of modern preachers speak the wisdom of the
world and promote physical beauty. This is a
sin against the Spirit of the Word and
against God's people.
How can any preacher be a man of God and not Holiness Critics
respect the convictions of others and show no
regard for the principles of mortification as Convictions
contained in the scriptures? Romans 12:2; I
Timothy 5:6; 2 Timothy 3:2; Titus 2:12;
Philippians 3:18; John 15:19; Colossians 3:2;
I John 2:16.
When people join the church they profess to
give up the spirit of the world. They
profess to renounce the pomp and vanities of
self and flesh. To repent is to denounce

their pride and follow the example of our
meek and lowly Saviour. And now what do they
do? You often see fundamental figures
practicing the same trends of fashion as the
world. The Holy Spirit is denouncing this
through Isaiah as something to be judged
harshly. Verses 17 and 23.
FINNEY ON FASHION, Objections Answered;
Objection. 'But if we dress
plain, then other Christians about us
will ask, 'Why be singular?''
Certainly; Christians are bound to Attire
be singular. They are called to be a
peculiar people, that is, a singular Finney
people, essentially different from the
rest of mankind. To maintain that we
are not to be Holiness singular is
the same as to maintain that we are to
be conformed to the world.
But the question now regards
fashion in dress equipage. And here I
will confess that I was formerly myself
in error. I believed, and I taught, Body
that the best way for Christians to
pursue, was to dress so as not to be
noticed, to follow the fashions and
changes so as not to appear singular, Trichotomy
and that nobody would be led to think
of their being different from others in
these particulars. But I have seen my
error, and now wonder greatly at my
former blindness. It is your duty to Personality
dress so plain as to show to the world,
that you place no sort of reliance in
the things of fashion, and set no value
at all on them, but despise and neglect
them altogether. But unless you are
singular, unless you separate your-
selves from the fashions of the world,
you show that you do value them. There
is no way in which you can bear better
testimony by your lives against the
fashions of the world, than by dressing
plain. I do not mean that you should
study singularity, but that you should
consult convenience and economy,
although it may be singular.
SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS ISAIAH
____________________________________________________________
Objection. 'But if we dress
plain, the attention of people will be
taken with it.'
The reason of it is this, so few Attire
do it that it is a novelty, and every- Finney
body stares when they see a professing
Christian so strict as to disregard the
fashions. Let them all do it, and the
only thing you show by it is that you
are a Christian, and do not wish to be
confused with the ungodly. Would it
not tell on the pride of the world, if
all the Christians in it were united in
bearing a practical testimony against
its vain show?
Objection. 'But in this way you
carry religion too far away from the
multitude. It is better not to set up Conformity
an artificial distinction between the Philosophy
church and the world.'
The direct reverse of this is Holiness
true. The nearer you bring the church Contrast
to the world, the more you annihilate
the reasons that ought to stand out in
view of the world, for their changing
sides and coming over to the church.
Unless you go out from them, and show
that you are not of them in any
respect, and carry the church so far as
to have a broad interval between saints
and sinners, how can you make the
ungodly feel that so great a change is
necessary?
Objection. 'But this change which Heart Holiness
is necessary is a change of heart.
True; but will not a change of
heart produce a change of life?
Objection. 'You will throw
obstacles in the way of persons
becoming Christians. Many respectable
people will become disgusted with
religion, and if they cannot be allowed
to dress and be Christians, they will
take to the world altogether.'
ISAIAH SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS
____________________________________________________________
This is just about as reasonable
as it would be for a temperance man to
think he must get drunk now and then to Attire
avoid disgusting the intemperate and to Finney
retain his influence over them. The
truth is that persons ought to know,
and ought to see in the lives of pro-
fessing Christians that if they embrace
religion they must be weaned from the
world and must give up the love of the
world and its pride, and folly, and
live a holy life, in self-denial, and
active benevolence.
Objection. 'Is it not better for
us to disregard this altogether, and
not pay any attention to such little
things, and let them take their course;
let the milliner and mantua-maker do as
they please, and follow the usages of
society in which we live and the circle
in which we move?'
Is this the way to show contempt
for the fashions of the world? Do
people ordinarily take this course of
showing contempt for a thing, to
practice it? Why, the way to show your
abhorrence of the world is to follow
along in the customs and fashions of
the world! Precious reasoning this.
Objection. 'No matter how we
dress if our hearts are right.'
Your heart right! Then your hear Heart Holiness
may be right when your conduct is
wrong. Just as well might the profane
swearer say, 'No matter what words I
speak, if my heart is right.' No, your
heart is not right, unless your conduct
is right. What is outward conduct but Conduct
Conduct the acting out of the heart?
If your heart was right, you would
Fashion not wish to follow the fashions
of the world.
Objection. 'What is the standard Attire
of dress? I do not see the use of all Finney
your preaching, and laying down rules
about plain dress unless you give us a
standard.'
SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS ISAIAH
____________________________________________________________
This is a mighty stumbling block
with many. But to my mind the matter
is extremely simple. The whole can be
comprised in two simple rules. One is
- Be sure in all your equipage, and
dress, and furniture, to show that you
have no fellowship with the designs and
principles of those who are aiming to
set off themselves, and to gain the
applause of men. The other is - Let
economy be first considered, and then
convenience, save all you can for
Christ's service; and then, let things
be as convenient as Christian economy
will admit.
Objection. 'Would you have us all
to turn Quakers, and put on their plain
dress?' (That was written when Quakers
dressed plainly.)
Who does not know that the plain
dress of the Quakers has won for them
the respect of all the thinking part of
the ungodly in the community? Now, if
they had coupled with this the zeal of
God, and the weanedness from the world,
and the contempt for riches and the
self-denying labor for the conversion
of sinners to Christ, which the Gospel
enjoins, and the clear views of the
plan of salvation which the Gospel
inculcates, they long since would have
converted the world. And if all
Christians would imitate them in their
plain dress (I do not mean the precise
cut and fashion of their dress, but in
a plain dress, throwing contempt upon
the fashions of the world,) who can
doubt that the conversion of the world
would hasten on a pace?
Objection. 'Would you make us all
into Methodists [holiness]?'
Who does not know that the Attire
Methodists, when they were noted for Finney
their plain dress, and for renouncing
the fashions and show of the world,
used to have the power with God in
prayer - and that they had the
SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS ISAIAH
____________________________________________________________
universal respect of the world as
sincere Christians. And who does not
know that since they have laid aside
this peculiarity, and conformed to the
world in dress and other things, and
seemed to be trying to lift themselves
up as a denomination, and gain
influence with the world, they are
losing the power of prayer? Would to
God they had never thrown down this
wall. It was one of the leading
excellencies of Wesley's system, to
have his followers distinguished from
others by their plain dress.
Objection. 'We may be proud of a
plain dress as well as of fashionable
dress. The Quakers are as proud as we
are.'
So may any good thing be abused.
But that is no reason why it should not
be used, if it can be shown to be good.
I put it back to the objector - Is
there any reason why a Christian
female, who fears God and loves the
souls of men, should neglect the means
which may make an impression that she
is separated from the world, and pour
contempt on the fashions of the ungod-
ly, in which they are dancing their way
to hell?
Objection. 'This is a small
thing, and ought not to take up so much
of a minister's time in the pulpit.'
This is an objection often heard
from worldly professors. The minister
who fears God will not be deterred by
it. He will pursue the subject, until
professing Christians are cut off from
their conformity to the world, or cut
off from the church. It is not merely
the dress, as dress, but it is the
conformity to the world in dress and
fashion, that is the great stumbling
block in the way of sinners. How can
the world be converted while professing
Christians are conformed to the world?
What good will it do to give money to
SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS ISAIAH
____________________________________________________________
send the Gospel to the heathen when
Christians live so at home? Well might Attire
the heathen ask, 'What profit will it Finney
be to become Christians, when those who
are Christians are pursuing the world
with all the hot haste of the ungodly?'
The great thing necessary for the
church is to break off from conformity
to the world, and then they will have
power with God in prayer, and the Holy
Ghost will descend and bless their
efforts.
Objection. 'But if we dress so,
we shall be called fanatics.'
Whatever the ungodly may call you,
fanatics, Methodists, or anything, you
will be known as Christians, and in the
secret conscience of men will be
acknowledged as such. It is not in the
power of unbelievers to pour contempt
on a holy church, that are separated
from the world. How was it with the
early Christians? They lived separate
from the world, and it made such an
impression that even infidel writers
say of them, 'These men win the hearts
of the mass of people because they give
themselves up to deeds of charity and
pour contempt on the world.' Depend on
it, if Christians would live so now,
the last effort of hell would soon be
expended in vain to defeat the spread
of the Gospel. *1

not so. We teach that separation is most
certainly the essence of the doctrine of Sanctification
sanctification.
1. Christians who hold to Bible standards Separation

2. A holiness Christian believes that true Convictions

Lord and that "there are pleasure [galore]

that pleasure is limited to bodily
activities! The highest pleasure is to
know you are doing those things pleasing

sorry for us or criticize us because we do
not indulge in the physical pleasures of
the world to the same extent they are. It
is a sure sign of carnality when
Christians begin to equate joy and con-
tentment with worldly pleasures and
practices.
3. The world system has so enshrined pleasure Worldliness
and entertainment that we think of it as

NOT; AND TO THE PROPHETS, PROPHESY
NOT UNTO US RIGHT THINGS, SPEAK UNTO Modern Gospel
US SMOOTH THINGS, PROPHESY DECEITS:
THE POSITIVE GOSPEL EXAMINED
A new philosophy of life has
captivated modern society and religion. Gospel
Its fundamental principle is the re- False
jection of a negative view of life for
a constantly positive outlook and
thrust. Herein, it affirms, is the Positivism
secret of a radiantly happy and suc-
cessful life. Many are the testimoni-
als which acclaim its fascinating
powers.
Has Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's
book, "The Power of Positive Thinking"
(1952) given impetus to this modern
philosophy of life? Dr. William Ward
Ayer, formerly the pastor of Calvary
Baptist Church of New York City, in a
letter of 1952 to the editor of the
"United Action" of the National Associ-
ation of Evangelicals, said, "Actually,
he has started a new cult in religion.
To define it clearly is beyond my
ability, but it has a good deal of Mary
Baker Eddy in it without that lady's
complete annihilation of reality. It
exudes the hyper-optimism of 'Pollyanna
the Glad Girl' cleverly interwoven with
Dale Carneigie's philosophy. 'How to
Win Friends and Influence People,'
lifted to a religious level ... Unless
one is deeply discerning, it will not
be noticed that Peale has caricatured
God, ignored sin and its needed
repentance."
The majority of Evangelical
ministers apparently have joined the Holiness
cult of the (so called) positive
gospel. It is therefore urgent that
its philosophy and fruits be examined.
Although a greater percentage of the
population now belong to the Church
than a generation ago, it is generally
conceded, its moral influence is far

less. The time was when the Church was
the moral conscience of the land; now
it is largely but the modified re-echo
of its secular thinkers and enter-
tainers. Prophets of biblical right-
eousness have given way to popular,
positive gospel preachers who speak
"smooth things" and cry, "Peace,
peace," to disobedient souls who can
have no peace. They gladly call men to
believe on the crucified Jesus, but
shrink to call men to total repentance
and full obedience to the risen Lord.
They prefer to preach an undisturbing,
positive gospel of grace, unmixed or
weakly tinctured, with the righteous
requirements, prohibitions and warnings
of God's moral law. The absence of
this potent, negative element hastens
the apostasy of the Church and the
total corruption of society. *1
32:17 THE WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
SHALL BE PEACE; AND THE EFFECT OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS AND AS-
SURANCE FOR EVER.
Mankind minus God dreams on in quest of peace Righteousness
for the world. Here is the solution so
simple, so achievable through the provisions Peace
of the cross. There are an average of forty
wars in the world annually - to achieve
peace. In 1985 the United Nations celebrated
40 years of existence. Their original
purpose was to end all wars, but instead
there have been over 100 wars in that time
with millions dead.

righteousness! The Bible is a history of
righteousness over evil and how righteousness
will triumph over sin at last. Revelation

Charismatics try and read profits into
everything, but this is not material profit,
(YAAL, [3276] to ascent; to become useful).
It is speaking of profiting in the sense of
achieving goals of moral maturity, benefit.
It's made very plain here that peace and
justice are born out of the commandments of
the Lord. See Heart Holiness. Here the Lord
connects the thought of prosperity with
obedience to the commandments. The command-
ments are matters of moral principle and
obedience, "Then had thy peace been as a
river, and thy righteousness as the waves of
the sea." When reading verses 17 and 18 it
seems to imply that this is the kind of
profit God was speaking of. See Introduction

God dreaming again of that glorious day when
righteousness and praise fill the creation.
Note that righteousness precedes and accompa-
nies praise. Only the praise of the right-
eous is valid. Praise without piety is pre-
sumptuous. See Isaiah 1:11; Praise; Praise
Cult; Obedience.
Praising God on the basis of His goodness and Praise
apart from righteousness is irrelevant and
irresponsible! We cannot pick up on praise
and pitch piety! All true praise is born out
of God's righteousness abounding in us. All Righteousness
other praise is emotionalism born out of
fantasy and ecstatic idealism. Praise not
based on the knowledge of God's Word is the
worship of an imagined god who resembles God, Doctrine
but is another god. The righteous do praise,
but praise is not always righteous.

"God not only calls them so, He extorts that Reputation
confession from others. Why should we then
be ashamed to be so designated? Wesley and
his friends were nicknamed 'The Holy Club,' Holiness
'The Holy People' is a designation of the
highest honor." *1 Isaiah 66:5.
It seems this is a divine designation for
those who gather themselves together under
the banners of holiness. It's reasonable to
assume that if shovels, stones, badgers
skins, wooden posts, animals and garments
(pertaining to the furnishings of the taber-
nacle) were designated as "holy unto the
Lord," that it should be no surprise that Sanctification
God's people whom he has redeemed, should
also bear the honor of being called, "The Dichotomy/Salvation
Holy People." See Romans 3:20

"They shall call them." "They," referring to
the non-holy, shall call them, the holy
people. So the unholy see the lifestyle of
God's people. That is, if we are God's
children and bear his image we will burst
forth as morning stars of holiness in the
midst of a dark and perverse generation! The
more wicked the world becomes, the brighter

wicked men become the more God's people, who

COME NOT NEAR TO ME; FOR I AM HOLIER

This term, "holier than thou" was directed at
those who broke God's commandments and had
"burned incense upon the mountains and blas-
phemed Me upon the hills." Read context.
So, in actuality it applies not to those
keeping God's commandments, but to those who
break God's commandments. These were plural-
ists who thought they could worship God any
way they wanted to. They worshiped the god's
of the world and at the same time ac-
knowledged the Creator and confused them as
being the same.
