In 1739 a small group of men decided to meet 3 or 4 times reading certain things that at the time were known as classics.Then on Sundays they would read a book on Divinity.( how religious).
One of the men i believed had seen the need to visit a man in Prison who had killed his wife.How many would dare care to do that?
This man felt strongly that anyone trying to reach this murderer, WOULD, do much good.wow.Oh i can just hear the remarks of most people today about that one.
But anyhow, this group of men did go twice a week.
From this visitation they were ask to go see a lady who was very sick. So it began to be something to be set aside a couple times a week to do.
Awh but yet one of the men wrote his dad to get advice.
The advice was this....(the mans dad was 70 yrs old.)
" I have the highest reason to bless God that He has given me two sons together at Oxford ,to whom He has given grace and courage to turn the war against the world and the devil, which is the best way to conquer."I have to say....the mans dad approved greatly with what his sons group was doing.
Some points to think about.
The Dad blesses God for the things these young men were doing.
How many realize we are at war with Satan and this world?
