I say we make it official. We can bind and loose in heaven and earth after all.

February 17 โ€” I was carried to the Foundry and preached, kneeling (as I could not stand), on part of the Twenty-third Psalm; my heart was enlarged, and my mouth opened to declare the wonders of Godโ€™s love.

"In the name of God, what are you doing? Do you neither fear God, nor regard man?"

In 1789 John Wesley directed these words at those who failed to help the poor. A lot of people are answering these questions today and it doesn't look great...

This #JohnWesley quote has sustained me this week as I prepare to preach the Luke 6 Blessings and Woes tomorrow.

โ€œConstantine's calling himself a Christian, and pouring that flood of wealth and honour on the Christian Church, the Clergy in particular, was productive of more evil to the Church than all the ten persecutions put together.โ€

Feb 16, 1764 โ€” I once more took a serious walk through the tombs in Westminster Abbey. What heaps of unmeaning stone and marble! But there was one tomb which showed common sense: that beautiful figure of Mr. Nightingale endeavoring to screen his lovely wife from death.
