“You can go to a seminary and learn how to preach sermons,
but you will have to go to God to get messages.”
– Oswald J Smith, from his book Consuming Fire

Seems like you are “programmed” to complain?
The Lord can re-program you (“while you wait” 🙂 ) if, IF, you will let Him.
In fact, He would love to.
And – – – (swallow), your friends will like you even more.

John Wesley – died

ON THIS DATE
John Wesley died 3/2/1791 at London. He was born 6/17/1703, Epworth, England, 15th child of Samuel & Susanna Wesley. More importantly, he was born again (BTW after already be a disciplined man & after serving as a missionary) 5/24/1738, while listening to Luther’s preface to the Epistle to the Romans. He went on to revive (somewhat) the NT doctrine of heart holiness – a terrifically important message.
Few men (English or otherwise) have left a more meaningful mark on their age. Between his writings: Plain Account of Christian Perfection, Explanatory Notes on the NT, Primitive Physick, his rigorous preaching “tours” & his organizational skills, he impressed many to follow Christ & (it is thought) the influence of his followers helped keep England from the bloody revolution just a few sea-miles away.
Allow an honest glance at this holy – yet still human man. He needed a haircut. He did not do well in choosing a wife. He felt too free to edit other’s hymns – including his brother’s (we know more theology from Charles than from John). As seen, I do not have John on a pedestal nor should anyone. Compare to him? How foolish to say. But he had his niche to fill (did it well) & you & I have our niche – May God help you AND me.
