Wesley on the Christian Life

Wesley on the Christian Life, by Pastor Kevin Boling [Text:  2 Peter 1 & 2 (Audio)]

--------------------------------------------

Quote from John Wesley (1703-1791):

 "Give me 100 preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth."

The text for this sermon is Matthew 7:21-23 (Audio):
 
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
