The Twin Towers of the Highway of Holiness

The Highway of Holiness leads through the Twin Towers.
Directions to the towers are the coordinates 12:1+ and the code names Romans and Hebrews. The key to understanding how the Highway can be both/and lies in the nature of the Covenant. The Covenant is very much like the ideal human marriage, only even more sacred, and certainly more permanent.

The Tower on the left (Romans 12:1+) says: NOW! Make Covenant!
Say vows! Give yourself to God without reservation! Yield to His great love! By deliberate choice, pass through on the Highway!
Consecration as crisis is sort of like a wedding. It is a beginning of a new adventure with the Loved One. It is an end of flirtation with other suitors, and playing the field. It is a time for dancing. A time for celebration and assurance. Weddings are what anniversaries are about.

The Tower on the right (Hebrews 12:1+) says: NOW! Keep Covenant!
Dare to be intimate with God, and share every facet, every nook and cranny of your life! Laugh with Him. Cry with Him. But above everything else, keep only to Him with every breath. By deliberate choice keep to the Highway!
This ‘deeper life’ as process is a lot like the marriage after the wedding is over. Waking up to the reality of life in harness can be bracing, to say the least. There will be times when we don’t ‘feel’ as if we are married. The Covenant is the thing! He is faithful! We belong!

The TIME is always NOW!
You don't have to be super-smart, or super-brave. Isaiah 35 makes it plain we all can walk this Way. Look for the Twin Towers . . . walk through them and stay on the high way!
