What Ever Happened to Holiness?

Kevin DeYoung wrote a great essay about holiness.  We talk a lot about salvation, but not a lot about sanctification in our lives. 

He wrote, 'I find it telling that you can find plenty of young Christians today who are really excited about justice and serving in their communities. You can find Christians fired up about evangelism. You can find lots of Generation XYZ believers passionate about precise theology. Yes and amen to all that. But where are the Christians known for their zeal for holiness? Where is the corresponding passion for honoring Christ with Christlike obedience? We need more Christian leaders on our campuses, in our cities, in our seminaries who will say with Paul, 'Look carefully then how you walk'? (Eph. 5:15)."
