We are called to be holy for the Lord, the living God, He is holy. Scripture attests in both Old and New Testaments that God's people are called to holiness. As people called Methodists, this calling was central to John Wesley's understanding of his purpose in ministry. This episode of Storm The Gates will be featured in Bishop Leah Hidde-Gregory's teaching for her episcopal areas around the theme of spreading scriptural holiness. Dr. David Watson rejoins the podcast to offer his wisdom and contribution for the church in this area. His book, Scripture And The Life Of God, is a valuable resource for the church today explaining the nature of scripture and it's function in drawing us into the life of God.

Hang in there until the very end for a beautiful affirming word from Dr. Watson to Bishop Gregory.
