In this episode, R.W. sits down with Dr. Rev. Jim Feirtag, lead pastor at NorthPark Church in Meridian, Mississippi. Jim authored the devotional, "Wholly His: God's Call to Be Distinct from the World for the World" a uniquely Church of God book for congregations or small groups. The Church of God has had many deep theological books written on holiness in our rich history, but "Wholly His" was written for the layperson to be able to explore this idea of living a holy life through a 7 week study. You NEED this book for your personal library AND should consider taking your church on the 7-week journey!

READ THE INTRO OF "WHOLLY HIS"

Jesus paid the penalty for our sin and made it possible for us to receive a right relationship with God and eternal life with him. We receive this eternal life based solely on and completely by God's grace, through our faith in Jesus. It's all about Jesus. It's all about what Jesus did for us on the cross and through the resurrection. It's all about us receiving that wonderful gift by grace, through faith. It's clear enough what Jesus saved us from. But what did Jesus save us for? What kind of life does he call us to live right now-every day—as we wait for his return? The absence of a clear answer to this question has created great confusion in the lives of many Christians. It is the source of many spiritual train wrecks in individuals and churches. It is the main reason sincere people who want to honor God with their lives get stuck spiritually. It is the main reason why the lives of so many Christians look no different from the lives of people who do not claim Christ. 

While we struggle to move forward spiritually, this confusion stubbornly remains. Covering seven weeks with five days of study per week, Wholly His explores God's call to live as people who have been made holy through Christ even as they daily commit themselves to live out that holiness in ways that will impact their families, friends, places of work, communities, and the world. Whether used on your own or for study with others, this book will help the concept of holiness come alive for you in new and practical ways.
