I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Today Is the Feast Day of John and Charles Wesley

Lord God, you inspired your servants John and Charles Wesley with burning zeal for the sanctification of souls, and endowed them with eloquence in speech and song; Kindle in your Church, we entreat you, such fervor, that those whose faith has cooled may be warmed, and those who have not known Christ may turn to him and be saved; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Thank you Allan for the post. For more on the Wesley brothers I invite you to the website for the upcoming book series, The Asbury Triptych Series. The trilogy based on the life of Francis Asbury opens with the book, Black Country. Available in one month, Black Country features the early Wesleyan movement in England and Ireland while also detailing for the first time the preaching circuits in England for Francis Asbury. The website is www.francisasburytriptych.com. Again, thank you for the post.
