I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. - Ephesians 3:16-19
My prayer for you today is the same as the Apostle Paul's prayer for the believers in Ephesus two thousand years ago: That you may know the love of Christ, that you may be rooted and grounded in his love. Join us Sunday morning for worship as we come face-to-face with our Lord and his love.
Rev. Katie Hill
What It Means to Be Methodist, part 4
As they met in their classes, small groups focused on prayer and exhortation, early Methodists devoted themselves to holiness of life. They did this by observing three simple rules: do no harm, do good, and attend the ordinances of God. Though these rules are simple, they are also specific. The following passage outlining the third rule, attend to the ordinances of God, comes from Wesley himself as is recorded in our Book of Discipline. The spiritual disciplines listed here are the means, the channels, by which God pours out his grace in the lives of believers. These are the places where we regularly meet God and find strength to live holy lives.
The General Rules of the Methodist Movement
There is only one condition previously required of those who desire admission into these societies: "a desire to flee from the wrath to come, and to be saved from their sins." But wherever this is really fixed in the soul it will be shown by its fruits. ...
It is expected of all who desire to continue in these societies that they should continue to evidence their desire of salvation,
Thirdly: By attending upon all the ordinances of God; such are:
· The public worship of God.
· The ministry of the Word, either read or expounded.
· The Supper of the Lord.
· Family and private prayer.
· Searching the Scriptures.
· Fasting or abstinence.
These are the General Rules of our societies; all of which we are taught of God to observe, even in his written Word, which is the only rule, and the sufficient rule, both of our faith and practice. And all these we know his Spirit writes on truly awakened hearts. If there be any among us who observe them not, who habitually break any of them, let it be known unto them who watch over that soul as they who must give an account. We will admonish him of the error of his ways. We will bear with him for a season. But then, if he repent not, he hath no more place among us. We have delivered our own souls.
