Wesley's Teachings
The author, Diane Leclerc, wrote this book from the perspective of John Wesley’s teachings, which she feels is a distinct perspective into the church and its traditions. Diane shows arguments on Holiness, starting with the argument of relevancy of Wesley’s teaching of holiness in the postmodern world. She gets her thoughts from his teaching that salvation is the true key of many in Holiness. This book is a great resource for it brings legitimacy to the teachings of the Wesley brothers in the sense that you get a good feel of exactly what they taught. She writes the key characteristics of Holiness, and how exactly do we achieve these characteristics. One thing that caught my eye about Diane’s teaching’s is she talks about God’s love in the book

    Throughout many of the chapters Anderson mentions how our struggle with un-holiness is less when our parents or loved ones meet the needs we have to be loved. Anderson then tells us the importance in realizing our worth in God. He says “In Christ we are important, we are qualified, we are good. Satan can do absolutely nothing to alter our position in Christ and our worth to God. But he can render us virtually inoperative if he can deceive us into listening to and believing his insidious lies accusing us of being of little value to God or other people”…

    In the New Testament, the church can be referred to as the “local” church or the “universal” church. The local church is a place where assemblies of believers come together at a particular location and time. The universal church refers to the body of Christ. Many churches believe that they are healthy because they have a certain number of people on their membership roll. Healthy churches measure their spirituality according to God’s Word. This paper seeks to convey that healthy churches are measured in spiritual terms versus numerical terms; follow biblical instead of cultural patterns of ministry; are based on theological instead of sociological foundations; focus on ministry not a marketing model; and adopt scriptural not secular models of leadership. This will be done by examining Kenneth Gangel’s discussion on the different marks that can be used to gauge a healthy church in his article “The Marks of a Healthy Church.”…

    The journal mainly provides emphasis on the description of the traditions of Wesleyan, Holiness, and Pentecostal beliefs. Knight’s biography set out to focus on a vaster group of Christians that expected a miraculous encounter with God that would impact them personally in an abnormal way and absolutely change the entire mind set about their current culture. The actual book From Aldersgate to Azusa Street shows us the lives of men and women that tried to fix the unjust system and the appointed so called leaders that questioned both race and gender. Particularly the Methodist historians, haven’t ever gave enough concern, so to speak, with spiritual birth or the birth…

    He sees Christians as having an “exceeding dependence on God’s grace and strength” (A:408). He feels that the gospel of Christ is his “chosen light” (A:408) and that Christ is his “chosen prophet” (A:408). He compares holiness to “a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene calm nature”(A:402) where Christians, like a “little white flower” (A:403), soak up the light of God just as the flower soaks up the sunlight.…

    Firstly, Wesley is used to illustrate the themes of the novel. His character helps the author maintain a constant underlying theme of loyalty vs. justice. Without Wesley in the story, Julian would have concealed Frank’s secret of sexually assaulting women of Indian decent and no one would have realised this, so Frank would continue to go unpunished. An example of Wesley Hayden helping portray the theme of loyalty vs. justice is when he says “He will be dealt with in the hereafter” when discussing Frank’s punishment, while talking to Gail. When he says this, he is fighting an inner conflict with himself as he doesn’t know whether to do what is morally correct, by punishing Frank, or remain loyal to Frank as he is Wesley’s own brother.…
