Charles Grandison Finney was converted to Christ on this date, 10/10/1821. Finney (then 29 years of age was at Adams, New Jersey when this new birth took place. The next day he received “a mighty baptism of the Holy Ghost” was thus sanctified holy. Quickly thereafter Charles gave up this law practice, became a minister and stayed one for the next 50 years. He also taught and wrote. See his Revival Lectures.

A certain kind of people,
Meeting under a tall steeple,
Imagine that that’s the church.
Tall walls do not a church make.
New birth is more than a handshake;
Which these find out when in a lurch.
The church is made of redeemed hearts,
And though they meet in various parts,
Under clear sky, under a huge tree;
Worship, that’s why we gather,
Even in cold, wet weather.
Church is you and me. -eab, 10/1/08
