Good morning. The following are excerpts from the life,times,and preaching of Bro. John Wesley. For you Pastors, teachers, who think you have it hard
May 7th,1738
Preached at one church in the Am...then later at another.
I had liberty to speak strong words at both. Then was informed I was not to preach anymore in either of those churches.
Sunday May14th....I preached in the am, then again in the afternoon. I preached free salvation by faith in the blood of Christ.
I was quickly apprised that I am never to preach in these churches again.
On Friday the 19th of May, I preached at 2 more churches,and likewise I am to preach no more there as well.
Many more examples were written about. Some preaching was greeted by hostile organized crowds.
So you see, preaching has never been easy. All these examples were so called clergy.
Other
I wish you all God's speed in your ministry, and never compromise.

MORE LIKE JESUS.
Two things interest me this afternoon. Bad weather forced me to deal with a lost internet beginning this morning until now. As was doing other chores around the house, personal issues, i will not say attacks,because some people just jump on the ride when its funny,ha ha. came to my mind. Listen up ,i have been guilty of it as well. I wish to share with you that every time i may feel these thoughts coming on, i feel the Holy Spirit begin to remind me of my own sin.
Yep.....my own sin, and He tells me to deal with mine. BUT GUESS WHAT? He also wants me to share mine. Oh my gosh. This keeps me from being a judge. He forces me to look at my listeners with more compassion and understanding.In other words more Christ like. The Father ,Son,And the Holy Ghost are real and we must deal,then when we do ,He will teach us all things we must say and share. Now let me move on to the next blog.Thank you so much for allowing me to speak to you.

Unless you believe in vain.
Shallow non saving faith....wow imagine that. I have spoken with a few professing christians about this very subject. Some close family.
Many many many church goers that seem to have no interest in talking about our Lord etc. I cannot seem to find much interest.Have i been there before? Absolutely yes. All you have to do is love the world more than Jesus. Many do not mind being obnoxious about material things, but seem to think joy in the lord is to much. Okay, then i will continue in the joy the lord has provided to me,even till people get tired of it. Fair enough?
Unless you believe in vain the message of the resurrection,of which you were saved, then you will understand my disgust in the actions of so many in the church that i know. Even in marriage the men teaching the women at home, or women marrying unsaved men that show no interest in hearing the gospel from their wives. It can be discouraging. But we must push on.In the book of James the 2nd chapter and the 19th verse,it's clear the demons are very orthodox and conservative in their beliefs of the scripture. Why? Well because they know Jesus and refuse to follow Him. they believe as well as non saving grace people,who believe but have no real love for God, Christ, or righteousness.References....Matt 7:13,14,22- 27, chapter 13: 24-30, etc.
2 things....know your saved,then love God ,Christ, and righteousness. Amen.
