A great verse in Leviticus 10:10 about character: "You must distinguish between what is sacred and what is common, between what is ceremonially unclean and what is clean".
What I like about this, is that God's approach to holiness is not a list of dos and don'ts but it is also not a case of "do whatever you like". God is quite specific in His words here that if we are truly priests, we need to perhaps reduce or cut out things that are not bad per-se but are unhelpful or "common". Things that take our time, our money and our thought-life are prime candidates here. TV, hobbies that take a lot of time, having loads of holidays, always buying expensive food when people are starving, these sort of things might be described as common, something that we need to examine in each of our lives prayerfully.
