| MUSIC: "IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE" by Dallas Holm |
Wesley died on Wednesday March 2, 1791, in his eighty-eighth year. As he lay dying, his friends gathered around him, Wesley grasped their hands and said repeatedly, "Farewell, farewell." At the end, summoning all his remaining strength, he cried out, "The best of all is, God is with us," lifted his arms and raised his feeble voice again, repeating the words, "The best of all is, God is with us."

| Truth is not within man's reach. It is only in God. It is a peak of insight. One must strain to attain it. There are no proofs to validate ultimate Truth, since perception and reason say one thing and Truth may reveal the opposite. The only alternative is to eliminate the self, to grow in faith. Faith is more perceptive than reason. Abraham Joshua Heschel A Passion For Truth page 164 |
What is one of the major roots of evil in our insane world? The answer
offered in this book is: mendacity, falsehood, wantonness of words,
perversion of the heart. Falsehood is a refuge, an asylum for the cruel, the
violent, for consummate criminals. What begins in a lie ends in blasphemy.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received,
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that
He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according
to the Scriptures, . . . 1 Corinthians 15: 3,4 NASB translation

That Christ died "for our sins" is an article of faith
confessed in every creed and taught in every catechism.
There can be no adequate recollection of Jesus without
confessing the meaning of his suffering and death (Augustine,
CG XIII, XVII, NPNF 1II, pp. 245-61, 337-60; Pearson,
EC I, pp. 347-51).
