instead of trying to remedy these things in the flesh we would succeed.

The above statement is true, but it is folly to let self righteous people who
think it is all in the outward manifestion of "HOLINESS". When in reality our
standard is just part of the outward manifestion what should be on the inside.
Just because there are some counterfeits out there is no reason to abandon
standards as a banner to the world of what God has done for us, in a spirit of
thankfulness. Because if it is not on the in side, its not holiness.
