Religion Without Regeneration: The Personal Testimony of John Wesley

Religion Without Regeneration: The Personal Testimony of John Wesley, by Rev. Ian Brown

The text for this sermon is Matthew 7:21-23:

"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.
22 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?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

The Daily Spurgeon for Friday, May 6, 2016

Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

"It is related of John Wesley that, preaching to an audience of courtiers and noblemen, he used the 'generation of vipers' text, and flung denunciations right and left. 'That sermon should have been preached at Newgate [prison],' said the displeased courtier to Wesley on passing out. 'No,' said the fearless apostle, 'my text there would have been, 'Behold, the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world.'"  - Spurgeon's Sermon Notes

The Daily Spurgeon for Wednesday, April 6, 2016

Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

"The devil does not like field preaching. Neither do I. I love a commodious room, a soft cushion, a handsome pulpit; but where is my zeal if I do not trample all these under foot in order to save one more soul? "- John Wesley, as quoted in  Spurgeon's Sermon Notes

Remembering George Whitefield and John Wesley

One of the things that separates Christians from Roman Catholics is Christians don't pray to dead saints. But that doesn't mean we can't honor their memory by speaking of them - not to them, but of them! - from time to time.

And so I'd like to take this opportunity to ask my readers to reflect on two great  Christian evangelists of the 1700s: George Whitefield (1714 - 1770) and John Wesley (1703 - 1791).  George Whitefield was a Calvinist. John Wesley was an Arminian (a non-Calvinist).  They were close friends and worked together in preaching the gospel until their Calvinist/Non-Calvinist differences caused them to go their separate ways.

Someone once asked George Whitefield if he thought he would see John Wesley in heaven. Mr. Whitefield said. "No. John Wesley will be so close to the throne of glory, and I will be so far away, I will hardly get a glimpse of him."

And that latter day Puritan, Charles Spurgeon (1834 - 1892), of whom I quote extensively on this site, once said of John Wesley: "Though I detest many of the doctrines he preaches, yet for the man himself, I have a reverence second to no Wesleyan."
