Thoughts For Thursday, October 26, 2017

"A Methodist minister once went to hear a Presbyterian minister preach. After the sermon, the Methodist said to the Presbyterian: 'That was a pretty good Arminian sermon you preached today.' 'Yes,' replied the Presbyterian, 'We Presbyterians are good Arminians when we preach, and you Methodists are good Calvinists when you pray!'" - -The Bible Doctrine of Election, by Dr. C. D. Cole


The following is from Spurgeon's Sermon Notes regarding the founders of Methodism, John and Charles Wesley:

"The monument in Westminster Abbey to the memory of the two Wesley's bears the sentence, 'God buries his workmen but carries on his work.'"
