Complete in Christ: ’Words of Life‘ Launches New Holiness Series
July marked the shift from the territorial focus on leadership development to holiness, still under the territorial priority “Disciple.” Beginning July 28, Words of Life launched a new series called “Complete in Christ” as a complement to the new focus. This six-week series is a panel discussion on the gift of holiness God offers to every Christian featuring Dr. Bill and Reverend Diane Ury, Lt. Colonel Ken Luyk, and Lt. Colonel Vern Jewett.
As the National Ambassadors of Holiness for The Salvation Army, Bill and Diane Ury travel the country reminding the Army of the importance of keeping the topic of holiness front and center in all that we do. Lt. Colonel Luyk is a retired officer who has taught extensively on holiness throughout the Southern Territory. And many regular Soundcast listeners will be familiar with Lt. Colonel Jewett. Not only is he a well-studied teacher on holiness but he is also the host of the show, “The Holiness Podcast,” a monthly deep-dive Bible study also produced by Soundcast.
In preparation for this series, the panel members each received a copy of the book, “Holiness: A Biblical, Historical, and Systematic Theology” by Matt Ayars, Christopher T. Bounds, and Caleb T. Friedeman. The book defines the six questions the panel focuses on: What is entire sanctification? What is Christian perfection? Can an entirely sanctified person sin? How can I be entirely sanctified? What is The Salvation Army’s view on holiness? Can I lose my salvation?
