Thanks for the link to the sermons by Carson. Yes, the same could be applied to holiness as well. Yes, I agree that we need to be intentional about developing our own biblically established convictions in terms of sound doctrine which is demonstrated in a life of personal holiness. I am thankful for you brother,

I'm just listening to a series of sermons on Revelation given by Carson at the Carey Conference in 1994. Highly recommended! The man has great insight and is an excellent preacher!
I remember someone, I think it was Bruce Wilkinson, talking about three generation pattern in terms of personal holiness:
1) The first generation lives according to their convictions.
2) The second generation adopts the same lifestyle because that's the way their parents lived, that is as a set of rules.
3) The third generation sees those rules as merely their parents' opinions and rejects them.
For example: David, Solomon, Rehoboam.
The point was for all of us to live out of properly-established convictions, not blind legalism or rebellious reactionism.
Thanks for a great quote, Nick!
