WESLEY DiARY DECODED

Charles and John Wesley were brothers. They wrote dozens of amazing songs. You probably know and sing more of them than you realize. They founded one of the biggest denominations in North America - the Methodists. They started it all at Oxford with about 25 guys. These guys called themselves "the Holy Club." They were hugely influential in the Great Awakening in the mid-1700s.

i hope i get old like Moses and John Wesley

Although Moses was 120 years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated [Deut 34.7].






















Today I entered on my eighty-second year and found myself just as strong to labor and as fit for any exercise of body or mind as I was forty years ago. I do not impute this to second causes, but to the Sovereign Lord of all. It is he who bids the sun of life stand still, so long as it pleases him. I am as strong at eighty-one as I was at twenty-one; but abundantly more healthy, being a stranger to the headache, toothache, and other bodily disorders that attended me in my youth. We can only say, "The Lord reigneth!" While we live, let us live to him [John Wesley].
