Crossroads –
You can do a 180 and go back where you were
You can turn left, partly warm but “liberal”
You can turn right, partly warm but “legalistic”
You can build a store on the corner, make money & settle down
Or You can GO ON!

No one to hear, no one to see,
No one here but God and me;
The greatest Being of all time and space
Ordains to meet me in this place.

Mr. Wesley I reverence as the greatest minister I know but would not follow Him one step farther than he follows Christ.
– John Fletcher, Works (NY: Carlton & Porter, nd), 71.
Faith is the hidden root, hope the rising stack, and love together with good works the nourishing corn…Christ takes neither faith nor hope into heaven; the former being gloriously absorbed in sight and the latter in enjoyment.
– John Fletcher, Works (NY: Carlton & Porter, nd), 75.
…The word Belial in the original signifies “without yoke.”
– John Fletcher, Works (NY: Carlton & Porter, nd), 81.
…Predestinarians…Augustine their father.
– John Fletcher, Works (NY: Carlton & Porter, nd), 153.
…He works daily as a Prophet to enlighten you, as a Priest to make intercession for you, as a King to subdue your enemies, as a Redeemer to deliver you…and, as a Saviour to help you work out your own salvation…
– John Fletcher, Works (NY: Carlton & Porter, nd), 200.

– John Fletcher, Works (NY: Carlton & Porter, nd), 256.
