The longing for holiness is not about wanting to be 'holier than thou'. It is about wanting the love of God to permeate all of our life, and for that love to be shown through our lives to other people.
A believer should support social climates, in which human communities are maintained and strengthened for the sake of all persons and their growth.
Small groups inside the Methodist Church should be developed. Thus all members of “societies” could receive support and be challenged in their faith.
