How do you think of the holiness of God? Are you intimidated? In awe? Terrified? Entranced by mystery?

There is an element of holiness that most Christian men have never thought about before. And without this essential ingredient, a man's imagination and worship is stunted. What is it? Beauty. Beauty is a vital element of the holiness of God.

To be in the presence of God is the most beautiful experience imaginable.

Frederick Faber's hymn, The Beauty of Holiness, gives men a pathway to gaze on the beauty of God and adore his holiness. Spend 15 minutes today exerting your imagination by meditating on this hymn.

This is a HIIT workout for your soul.
