Church – parallel – Lent

Lent is a season of soul-searching and repentance. It is a season for reflection and taking stock. Lent originated in the very earliest days of the Church as a preparatory time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days.

Suggested New Year’s Resolutions For 2010

Praise the Lord

Psalm 89:1

I will sing of the LORD’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.

Look forward to attending every Worship Service

Hebrews 10:25

Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord’s coming is getting closer.

Be more diligent in Bible study

2 Timothy 2:15

Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple.

Give 10% to the Lord

2 Corinthians 9:7

Each of you must make up your own mind about how much to give. But don’t feel sorry that you must give and don’t feel that you are forced to give. God loves people who love to give.

No Sarcasm

Proverbs 15:1

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Pray, Pray, Pray

I Thessalonians 5:17

Never stop praying.

Mark 14:38

Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Do something for those in need

Matthew 25: 35-36

For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

Guard your thoughts

2 Corinthians 10”5b

take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Share your shame

James 5:16

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you. When a believing person prays, great things happen.

Develop your talents

I Corinthians 10:31b

whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

When people make these resolutions, they actually are hoping for:

a new start

a new beginning

a new possibility for their life

Help me send money to Children in Need

Myrtle Beach Marathon February 13th, 2009.

I am running in honor and support of Children in Southern Sudan.

Holston Conference is planning an Orphanage and we can help by raising support to get the job done!

Maybe your family could send your gift to the children of Sudan in honor of each other!

If you would like to support, send your check to 1st Hillsville United Methodist Church, C/O Ronnie G Collins PO Box 356 Hillsville Virginia 24343. Make the check to Holston Conference and on the remit line “Hope for the children of Sudan”.


Why not do something you love and help others at the same time?

Together we can change the world!

Here is how it will work. I will travel to Myrtle Beach in February and run the 26.2 mile Marathon on February 13th Day in honor of and support of The Children of Sudan Africa, “Hope for the Children”.

Every gift that is given will go to support the children of Sudan, “Hope for the Children”.

I have a Goal of $2620.00 that is $100.00 per mile.

Help me meet the goal but more importantly help the children of Sudan.


There are several ways that you can support.

# 1 is in your prayers

26 people (Churches, Youth Groups, UMW, UMM, any group)could donate $100 and I would reach the goal.

Donate $1 for every mile = 26 dollars

Donate $5 for every mile = 130 dollars

Donate $10 for every mile = 260 dollars

Donate $20 for every mile = 520 dollars

Donate $100 for every mile = 2600 dollars

or simply Donate Any $ Amount


My goal is simply to raise as much money as possible and have fun doing it. I am inviting people (Runners) who would like to help raise money for the children of Sudan to join me in the run. You can sign up to run at

http://www.mbmarathon.com/site3.aspx

Make your checks payable to: The Holston Conference of The United Methodist Church or The Holston UMC

Designate your Check “Hope for the Children of Sudan”

Mail to: Ronnie G Collins, PO Box 356, Hillsville Virginia 24343

I will compile the checks and get them to Holston Conference on behalf of the children. You will receive a letter from me to signify when the gift is received.

I am excited to see just what Miracle the Lord will do.

Ronnie

New Year 2010, just around the corner…

What excitement will the New Year bring to your life? As I look back over 2009 I have to take a deep breath because it has been so busy. A lot has been accomplished. However, the greatest thing I want to do is learn from 2009 in order to make 2010 better.

Here are some things that I want to accomplish in 2010

#1. To grow closer to our Lord, get to know Him better

#2. To have more date nights with my wife, just she and I -this will require babysitters

#3. To have more 1 on 1 time with my oldest son, Michael

#4. To spend more time with my grandbabies

#5. To spend more time in sermon preparation

This is a start, I will add more later because I have just started to think about what things need to change and how to accomplish this for 2010. I am sure the list will grow…

Leading from the Second Chair – Insight

Thoughts for the day.

I have a desire to be the best leader that I can possibly be and until coming to Hillsville First Methodist I had been in the first chair as the leader of several businesses and organizations. I have read lots of leadership books and I am a big fan of John Maxwell and all of the leadership material that he offers.

However when I came on as the Associate Pastor of 1st Hillsville I found myself in a place I hadn’t been in a long time. By the way, there aren’t many books that address the second chair. I now hold a place of leadership but I am not the one that has the responsibility to cast the vision for the entire church. There are areas that I have that role in the church, such as Out of the Box but just not for the mother church.

I find this to be a two sided coin. I long to be the vision caster. I long to be the one who sets the tone of the ministries and leads those entities. However, at the same time I lovethe fact that all of the burden doesn’t fall on me for all of the decisions. There is a Senior Pastor that has that responsibility. My responsibilities are deep and wide but still not that of the Sr. Pastor.

Here is what I learned or was reminded of as I read chapter 1 of the book today. Joseph was a Second Chair leader, Genesis 41:40,

You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”

It is a great encouragement to me to remember and learn from a man the caliber of Joseph. He has always been one of my heros in the Bible and one that I counted as wise and discerning, at least later in life.

I am looking forward to sharing what I learn through this book over the next few days and for now here is a prayer that I believe is very appropriate for the Second Chair Leader.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Sunday Night Live January 3rd, 2010

Start the New Year   on the right track!

Join us every Sunday Night for Worship and a sermon that will be applied to where you are in life.

We are working our way through the Book of Matthew each week, verse by verse, and we are applying it to our lives. Nobody cares what you say you believe but lives will be changed if we live what we say we believe.

This week, the 1st week of the New Year the Scripture is Matthew 7: 13-14

Do you think you know what these verses mean? Come see what the Bible has to say about the wide and narrow, the easy and hard, the straight and crocked. Come see what the Bible has to say about cliff hangers and cliff walkers. Come see what the Bible has to say about you.

Ronnie

From Today’s New International Version

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

From The Message

13-14“Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.


The Band for 1st Hillsville is SouledOut, if you haven’t heard them then you are missing out. If you are interested in getting your year off to a great start and then getting each week of the year off to a great start, then come to SNL and get fired up, God is at work in Hillsville.

Thank you from the blogger

The following is a blog that I posted on December 10th, 2008, just over one year ago.

Just a note to thank you for reading the blog. Today we went over the top, 10,000 views since March of 2008. I am humbled that so many people have come. I am also dedicated to continue. I have had people from youth through senior citizens who have said they read every day and can’t wait to see what is posted. You will certainly get to know me better by what I say and do. I have a passion to share Christ with the World, starting in my own community. I have a passion for my family, adoption, my reading and my running.

As long as people read, I will blog. God is at work!

Ronnie

Wow, that was just one years ago and the blog to date has been visited 42,202 times!

More than 30,000 views in just one year.

Thank you, I am humbled that people are reading and I repeat from 2008. As long as you read I will continue to blog.

Sermon: Ephesians 5: 15-17

Ephesians 5:15-5:17

New International Version

15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Contemporary English Version

15Act like people with good sense and not like fools. 16These are evil times, so make every minute count. 17Don’t be stupid. Instead, find out what the Lord wants you to do.

Here we are, the Last Sunday of 2009.

I wonder how we’ll do in 2010? Will we be as busy? Will we make any better use of our time than we did in 09?

In 365 days, when the year is over, will we be looking back with joy, or with regret? Will we be looking at the future with anticipation, or with dread?

As we look forward to 2010, I believe this passage will help us.

Ephesians 5:15-17

“Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”
Psalm 39:4, “Show me, O Lord, my life’s end & the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life”.

Psalm 90:10 Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty.    But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.

The Psalmist tells us to number our days.

A few years ago People Magazine published an article entitled “Dead Ahead” telling about a new clock that keeps track of how much time you have left to live. It calculates an average life span of 82 years.

The Psalmist told us to do this – to number our days.

According to the clock, how many years do you have?

But wait a minute. I don’t have a guarantee of even one day more to live.

In fact the Bible tells us not to count on tomorrow because tomorrow may not come for you or for me. All we have is right now. So our time on this earth is valuable because it is very limited.

MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY

Secondly, Paul tells us that we must make “the most of every opportunity.” and he gives a reason, “because the days are evil.”

Jesus said that Satan is a robber and a thief, one of the things he tries to rob from us is our time because time is a very precious possession.

Just think of the time that is wasted.

Arguing over things that really don’t matter

in gossiping or spreading rumors.

time wasted worrying

worrying about the sins of the past.

Satan is a thief and a robber!

Sometimes even good things can take the place of the best things in our life.

You know the story. Martha gets upset because Mary is not in the kitchen, too. So she complains to Jesus, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” Luke 10:40

“Martha, Martha,” Jesus answered, “You are worried & upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, & it will not be taken away from her” Luke 10:41-42.

Martha was so preoccupied with what she was doing that she didn’t realize that God was in her living room.

Sometimes we get so caught up in good things that we miss out on the best things.

Richard Swenson, a medical doctor, wrote a book in which he discusses one of the major maladies of our time – anxiety & stress. He calls it “overload,” and says that people are just plain overloaded.

1. We’re overloaded with commitments. He says we soon begin meeting ourselves coming & going because we have overloaded ourselves in the area of commitments.

2. We’re also overloaded with possessions, he says. Our closets are full, & our garages are overflowing. We’ve gone into debt to pay for all of these things that we “simply must have.” And now we’re so afraid that someone will steal them. We are overloaded in the area of possessions.

3. Thirdly, we have an overload in the area of work. We get up early, fight traffic, & experience intolerable working conditions because we have to if we’re going to pay for all those possessions that we’ve accumulated.

4. There is also an information overload. He said that as a doctor he has to read 220 articles a month just to keep up with all the changes in his profession. And now with the internet there’s an information superhighway. But the problem is that we can’t possibly absorb it all. So we feel an overload in this area, too.

There are so many demands on our time, so many good things that need to be done. But there are only 8,760 hours in a year.

Make the most of every opportunity

UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD’S WILL IS

Paul says, “…do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”

Now what do you think God’s will is for you in this New Year? Do you think He wants your mind so saturated with worries and anxieties that you can’t think spiritual thoughts? Do you think He wants your calendar so crowded that you don’t have time for the important things? What do you think God’s will is for you in 2010?

Let me make a couple of suggestions for you to consider.

First of all, establish your priorities.

Make it a priority to be in church, worshiping God with fellow believers.

Make it a priority to pray, read, and practice His Word.

Devotionals are a great way to study and meditate

Read the Bible through this year

First of all, establish your priorities.
There is a girl who went to college & she just hated it. But she told herself, “If I can ever get out of college and get married and have children, I know I’ll finally be able to enjoy life.”

So she stuck with it. She went to classes every day and finally graduated from college. Then she got married, had children, and discovered that children are a lot of work. So she told herself, “If I can just get these kids raised, then I’ll be able to relax and really enjoy life.”

But about the time the kids were entering high school her husband said, “Guess what? We don’t have enough money to send our kids to college. I guess you’ll have to get a job.”

Well, she didn’t want to, but she knew he was right and they needed the money, so she went to work. And she hated it. But she told herself, “If I can just get these kids out of college, and get all of the bills paid, then I can quit work and really enjoy life.”

Finally, the last child graduated from college, all the bills were paid. So she walked into her employer’s office and said, “I quit.” He said, “Oh, you don’t want to quit now. If you stay with us just another 8 years you’ll have a pension for the rest of your life.”

She thought, “Well, I don’t want to work another 8 years, but there’s all that money there, and I really can’t turn down the opportunity.” So she worked for another 8 years. Finally, she and her husband retired at the same time. They sold their home and bought a little retirement cottage.

Then they sat down on the swing on their front porch and looked at the family picture album and dreamed about the good old days.

Someone said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re making plans to do something else.”

True, isn’t it? Another year has come & gone. A new year stretches before us.

Help us Lord, to redeem the time.

Lord, please help us to use the 8,760 hours of 2010 the wisest way we can for you and for your glory.

Witness Team Challenge 2010 Holston Conference

Witness Team Challenge 2010

The following is a letter written by Harry Denman in 1949

Dear Friend:

This letter is to ask every pastor not to observe Pentecost on June 5, but to meet the conditions so that every church will have a Pentecost on that day. It can be done if we will organize our church to witness to the fact that Jesus is Christ and that he is alive and can save persons from sin and death.

Easter to Pentecost

Fifty Golden Days of Evangelism

EASTER, We celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Redeemer. We have a living Christ. This is the beginning of evangelism. Why shouldn’t every church organize visitation teams to visit one night each week during this period and secure thousands of first commitments for Christ and his church, to be received on Pentecost Sunday, June 5?

FAMILY WEEK. May 1-8, This is a splendid time to visit young families and secure their first commitment for Christ and his church and establish a Christian home. What holy days they are, Easter to Pentecost, Including Family Week!

There were One-hundred-twenty in the Upper Room. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Three thousand were baptized that first Pentecost. How many will be baptized in our churches on Pentecost Sunday 1949?

Let us pray and work daily that every church will have a Pentecost.

Your Friend, Harry Denman

Shepherds, May 1949

Source: The Prophetic Evangelist


In memory of Evangelist Harry Denman, the Witness Team is presenting a challenge to all United Methodist Churches in the Holston Conference.

Easter Sunday is April 4th, 2010 and Pentecost Sunday is May 23. There are 50 days between Easter and Pentecost. We are presenting the challenge to each church to organize visitation teams to visit and knock on doors in your community one night each week during these 50 days with the intentional purpose of inviting people to church.

In his book “The Unchurched Next Door”, Thom Rainer and his group conducted a scientific survey and found the following results.

  • 82 percent of the unchurched are at least “somewhat likely” to attend church if they are invited.
  • 8 out of 10 unchurched persons said they would come to church if they were invited.
  • Only 21 percent of active churchgoers invite anyone to church in the course of a year.
  • Only 2 percent of church members invite an unchurched person to church.
  • Very few of the unchurched have had someone share with them how to become a Christian.
  • The unchurched would like to develop a real and sincere relationship with a Christian.

“For years I have been asked how churches can grow. I have consulted with hundreds of church leaders across America, leaders who sincerely desire that their churches reach people. “Why aren’t we reaching people?” I am often asked. “Why is our society so resistant to the gospel?” many inquire.

“After nearly a decade of research and almost fifteen years of consulting with churches, I am becoming more and more convinced that the answers to most of these questions can be found in the mirror. Nearly 130 million people in the United States alone would come to church if they were invited. And if they came, many would hear about the Savior who offers the only way of salvation.”

Thom S. Rainer, The Unchurched Next Door

When is the last time you invited an unchurched person to church?

The Witness Team will offer suggestions for the teams of people in your church who will be visiting the homes in your community.

We will provide you with computer models of door knockers to leave at the homes where no one is available, post cards to make follow-up contacts and many other tools for reaching your community for Christ. We will make these tools available on the Holston Conference web site in the near future.

There will be a reporting tool on the web site as well as a phone number that you can call to report the number of visits made by your church as well as the visitors who attend your services.

Please e-mail us to let us know that your church will participate in “50 Golden Days of Evangelism 2008”. Someone will then contact you with further information.

Let us pray and work daily that each of our churches will have a Pentecost Sunday on May 23, 2010.

If you have questions, please contact Rev. Ronnie Collins of The Holston Conference Witness Team 276-728-2434 or ronnie24317@yahoo.com

Running the Spiritual Path

I just started reading this one this afternoon. I already feel some connection to the book because what Roger Joslin calls “Meditation running”, meditation being inner changed with prayer, “Prayer Running”, I have been doing for quite some time. The big difference is that I have many times been on “Prayer Walks” and usually thought of my running as more of a meditative time. However Joslin uses a quote from Thomas Merton “the desire to pray is prayer”.

I will warn you after just reading the preface and first chapter that Joslin writes from a perspective that may be offensive or disagreeable to some. By that I mean, he brings other groups into the conversation, other than Christians. Joslin himself is a Priest in the Episcopal Church.

I am a very open-minded person, I have no problem reading about how other groups of people worship and who they worship, it does not demean my worship of the One True God at all. I just want folks to have a heads up in case this looks like a book that you may want to read. So far I am enjoying the book. I will share more as I read and a review when I complete the book.

Ronnie

Product Description

Imagine achieving physical fitness and spiritual growth simultaneously. Roger Joslin’s step-by-step program is an engaging exploration of the truth that spiritual well-being is as likely to happen while running, as it is within the more traditional settings of neighborhood churches, synagogues, or mosques. Through awareness, chants, and visualization, and through attention to the present moment–the weather, pain, or breathing—a simple run can become the basis for a profound spiritual practice.

From the Back Cover

“If you’re great at lacing up your running shoes, but you can’t fold yourself into lotus position, here’s the guide to finding a spiritual connection to your favorite physical activity.”
- Times-Picayune, New Orleans

“While drawing from and exhibiting an abiding respect for the traditions of the world’s great religions, the author describes a heretofore unexplored method of sacred running, of bringing meditation and a prayerful communion to the running trail.”
- The New Times

“In this refreshingly cogent and practical work, Joslin reveals the many ways in which a regular run can be turned into a lively and enriching encounter with the Divine.”
- Spirituality & Health

“A splendid, new, outside-the-box contribution. . . . At the deepest level, what Joslin has offered us is far more that just an excellent handbook. It is a record of a soul in progress—progress toward integration and harmony.”
- The Episcopal New Yorker

“Joslin recounts his profound experiences on reverent runs and offers readers suggestions on how to infuse spiritual growth into their jogs through running mantras, stretches as prayer posters, and more. Incorporate some of his suggestions on your next outing and you’ll say I’ve come this far by faith.”
- Heart and Soul magazine

“Joslin inspires us to bring intention and purpose to any activity we do regularly, seeking communion with God whether we are cooking, cleaning the house, or commuting. In other words, you don’t have to be a runner to get guidance from this practical book.”
- Spirituality and Health

Leading from the Second Chair

I have a huge desire to be a better leader in 2010. I am an associate pastor and sometimes it is hard to know when, where, and how to make decisions that don’t cross over the line of the Senior Pastor. I have had this book in my office for several months and today I picked it up and started to read. I will share insights as I read and in the end I will do a review of the book and what I find to be helpful. I desire your prayers as I attempt to lead from the Second Chair in 2010 @ First Hillsville UMC.

Ronnie

They say it’s lonely at the top. And it can be even lonelier when you are almost at the top. Church leaders who hold “second chair” positions are under tremendous pressure. They are expected do to their jobs and provide leadership but defer to the top leader, too. It’s a demanding balancing act. How can they lead effectively while serving under someone else’s leadership?

Leading from the Second Chair offers an invaluable resource to leaders who serve in second (and third and fourth) chair roles, enabling them to become more productive, proactive, and fulfilled. The book reveals the paradoxes of second chair leadership. These leaders must be subordinate to the top leader yet lead in their own right. They should be deep in their expertise but wide in perspective. And they must be content in their jobs yet remain enthusiastic about their dreams for the future.

Mike Bonem and Roger Patterson share their own and others’ experiences of failures and successes in this vital role. They offer support and practical advice for reshaping the way second chair leaders can serve well and improving the overall performance of their church or organization.

Leading from the Second Chair equips readers with the positive attitudes, skills, and strategies needed to become influential leaders who will excel in leading and following in a God-honoring way.

Looking for a New Study Bible?

Here is one you should give some consideration. I was first introduced to this one while in Seminary at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. It was my trip to Egypt and Israel that convinced me to purchase it. There is a huge gap in the time our Bible was written and 2009. there si also a huge gap in cultures then and now and the Land of the Bible and America.

Great Study Bible

No Ordinary Clock

Psalm 90:10

Seventy years are given to us!
Some even live to eighty.
But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;
soon they disappear, and we fly away.

Psalm 39:4

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.

At first glance this looks like any old clock, however, one full rotation of this clock is equal to the average human lifespan (82 years).

The clock, designed by Bertrand Planes, uses an ordinary clock slowed down 61,320 times to make each minute equal to one year.

We must be very careful how we live because our time on this earth is limited.

December 27th, tomorrow is the last Sunday in this current year, 2009

As you look back over the past year, are you satisfied with how you have spent your time. How about in the context of your lifespan? I am 44 years old and according to expected lifespan I am more than half way there, to the 82 years.

Are you satisfied with how you spend your time?

Does it count for eternity?

I know that not everyone is called to be a Preacher buy I want to share with you some of a biographical sketch of the founder of Methodist, John Wesley. I share this because it appears this many had a lot to accomplish and he knew his days were numbered.

John Wesley

June 17, 1703 — March 2, 1791

The following brief Biographical Sketch of John Wesley is taken from the following sources:“John Wesley and His Doctrine” by W. MacDonald; Life of the Rev. John Wesley by Joseph Benson; and Life of John Wesley by John Telford.

His Preaching

Mr. Wesley was styled “the mover of men’s consciences.” His preaching was simple—a child could easily understand him. There were no far-fetched terms—no soaring among the clouds. All was simple, artless and clear. He declares that he would no sooner preach a fine sermon than he would wear a fine coat.

His Travel was immense

John Wesley averaged, during a period of fifty-four years, about five thousand miles a year, making in all some two hundred and ninety thousand miles, a distance equal to circumnavigating the globe about twelve times. It must not be forgotten that most of this travel was on horseback. Think of riding around the globe on horseback twelve times!

His Preaching was immense

John Wesley preached not less than fifteen sermons a week—frequently many more. These sermons were delivered mostly in the open air [outdoors], and under circumstances such as to test the nerve of the most vigorous frame. He did, in the matter of preaching, what no other man ever did. He preached, on average, for a period of fifty-four years, fifteen sermons a week,, making in all forty-two thousand four hundred, besides numberless exhortations and addresses on a great variety of occasions.

A minister in these times does well to preach one hundred sermons a year. At this rate, to preach as many sermons as Wesley did, such a minister must live four hundred and twenty-four years. Think of a minister preaching two sermons each weekday, and three each Sabbath, for fifty-four years, and some idea can be formed of John Wesley’s labors in this department.

His Literary Labors were immense

While traveling five thousand miles a year, or about fourteen miles a day, and preaching two sermons, and frequently five each day, he read extensively. He read not less than one thousand two hundred volumes, on all subjects, many of the volumes folios, after the old English style. His journals show that he read not only to understand, but to severely critic his authors as well.

He wrote grammars of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French and English languages.

He was for many years editor of a monthly periodical of fifty-six pages, known as the Arminian Magazine.

He rewrote, abridged, revised and published a library of fifty volumes; and afterwards reread, revised and republished the whole work in thirty volumes.

He wrote and published a commentary on the whole Bible, in four large volumes; but the portion on the Old Testament was rendered almost worthless by the abridgment of the notes by the printer, in order to get them within a given compass.

He compiled a complete dictionary of the English language, much used in its day.

He wrote and published a work on Natural Philosophy in five volumes, which for may years was a textbook among ministers.

He compiled a work on Ecclesiastical History in four volumes.

He wrote and published comprehensive histories of England and Rome.

He wrote a good-sized work on electricity.

He prepared and published three medical works for the common people.

He compiled and published six volumes of church music.

His poetical works, in connection with those of his brother Charles, are said to have amounted to not less than forty volumes. Charles composed the larger part, but they passed under the revision of John, without which we doubt if Charles Wesley’s hymns would have been what they are, the most beautiful and soul-inspiring in the English language.

In addition to all this, there are seven large octavo volumes of sermons, letter, controversial papers, journals, etc. It is said that Mr. Wesley’s works including abridgments and translations, amounted to some two hundred volumes.

His Pastoral Labors were immense

It is doubtful if any pastor in these times does more pastoral work than did John Wesley. He speaks frequently of these labors. In London he visits all the members, and from house to house exhorts and comforts them. For some time he visited all the Bands and the Select Societies, appointing all the class and band leaders. He had under his special care tens of thousands of souls.

To these multiplied labors he added the establishment of schools, building of chapels, raising of funds to carry on the work, and a special care over the whole movement. It may be affirmed that neither in his travels, his literary labors, his preaching, nor in his pastoral supervision of the flock of Christ, has he often, if ever, been surpassed. Few men could have traveled as much as he, had they omitted all else. Few could have preached as much without either travel or study; and few could have written and published as much had they avoided both travel and preaching. It is not too much to say that among uninspired men, one of more extraordinary character than John Wesley never lived.

His Diligent Use of Time

It may be asked, how was he able to accomplish so much? He improved every moment of every day to the very best advantage.

John Fletcher, who for some time was his traveling companion, says: “His diligence is matchless. Though oppressed with the weight of seventy years, and care of more than thirty thousand souls, he shames still, by his unabated zeal and immense labors, all young ministers of England, perhaps Christendom. He has generally blown the gospel trumpet and rode twenty miles before most of the professors, who despise his labors, have left their downy pillows. As he begins the day, the week, the year, so he concludes them, still intent upon extensive services for the glory of the Redeemer and the good of souls.”

In order to save time he, in the first place, ascertained how much sleep he needed; and when once settled, he never varied from it to the end of life. He arose at four o’clock in the morning, and retired at ten in the evening, never losing at any time, he says, ten minutes by wakefulness. The first hour of each day was devoted to private devotions; then every succeeding hour and moment were employed in earnest labor. His motto was, “Always in haste, but never in a hurry.” “I have,” he says, “no time to be in a hurry. Leisure and I have taken leave of each other.”

He makes the remarkable statement that “ten thousand cares were no more weight to his mind than ten thousand hairs to his head.” “I am never tired with writing, preaching, or traveling.”

Dr Whitehead observed: “It had been impossible for him to accomplish this almost incredible degree of exertion, without great punctuality and care in the management of his time. He had stated hours for every purpose: and his only relaxation was a change of employment. His rules were like the laws of the Medes and Persians, absolute and irrevocable. He had a peculiar pleasure in reading and study, and every literary man knows how apt this passion is to make him encroach on the time which ought to be employed in other duties: he had a high relish for conversation, especially with pious, learned, and sensible men: but whenever the hour came when he was to set out on a journey, he instantly quitted the company with which he might be engaged, without any apparent reluctance.”

“The transactions of his life could never have been performed, without the utmost exertion of two qualities, which depended, not upon his capacity, but on the uniform steadfastness of his resolution. These were inflexible temperance, and unexampled economy of time. In these he was a pattern to the age he lived in; and an example, to what a surprising extent a man may render himself useful in his generation, by temperance and punctuality.”

With all his travel, labor, and care, he declares that he “enjoyed more hours of private retirement than any man in England.” When it is remembered that all this labor was performed amid the most unrelenting persecution that ever fell to the lot of man in modern times, it must be confessed that John Wesley has had no superior among uninspired men.

3000 Baptisms Around Holston Conference in One Day – It can happen!

We are looking for Christians who will Fast and Pray and ask God for 3000 souls on Pentecost Sunday 2010. I believe that God has given me a vision of 3000 people being introduced to Jesus Christ in the 50 days from Easter to Pentecost 2010. In order for that to happen God’s People will have to pray and participate.

Will you participate?

Let me hear from you.

Ronnie

3000 Baptisms in Holston on Pentecost Sunday

50 “Golden Days” of Evangelism

40 Days of Prayer and Preparation

TELL ME MORE!

You may remember hearing from the stage of Annual Conference that the Conference Witness team would challenge us to celebrate 3000 baptisms on Pentecost Sunday (May 23, 2010) in Holston Conference.  The Witness Team would like to take this opportunity to “brief” you, our Conference leaders, on the plan, invite you to ask questions, share comments, and help publicize as we continue refining and developing this time for an exciting and potentially Conference-transforming Spring in Holston Conference.  Info coming soon in the Call, Call 2 and a save the date(s) letter to each pastor under appointment in Holston.

In the book Prophetic Evangelist, Harry Denman called the 50 days between Easter and Pentecost the “50 Golden Days of Evangelism”.  He also wrote a letter in which he called on every pastor not only to observe Pentecost, but to lay the groundwork for experiencing Pentecost.  That is what we are praying for in Holston in 2010.  Here is an outline:

* Feb 19-20  Holston Evangelism Conference

This event will be held at Cokesbury Center in Knoxville, TN. We welcome the Rev. Rudy Rasmus and Bishop James Swanson to lead us through this inspirational and motivating event.  We will celebrate the past year’s theme and covenant to “Offer Them Christ” and to invite Holston to the next steps toward Pentecost 2010.  Friday: Optional Mission Outreach (“Grace bags” to Knoxville Homeless) 3-5; Registration 5-7; Session I begins 7pm.  Bishop Swanson will conclude the conference by 3pm on Saturday.

* 40 Days of Prayer and Preparation — beginning on Feb 23rd, we will encourage every congregation to pray, fast and ask God for a burden for the lost. Churches may organize specific prayer groups, teaching or preaching about prayer and fasting, or other creative Holston ways of preparation.  The Witness Team will provide a 40 Day Prayer Guide which will be daily devotions written by lay and clergy members of our Conference.  (District Superintendents – if you haven’t already, there may still be space for you to add a day’s devotional writing…) At this time we are working on the best delivery of these guides, but at the least we will be emailing copies to local church pastors and designated leaders for copying and distribution. The Witness Team is asking that every Pastor and Lay member who has a blog to add the daily devotional to your church and personal blogs.

*  50 Golden Days of Evangelism — from Easter to Pentecost 2010, each congregation will be asked to intentionally concentrate on evangelism in their community. Again, the Conference Witness Team will supply a guide (“50 Days of Evangelism”) with concrete, specific suggestions for individuals and groups within churches to start conversations, build relationships, and offer Christ in your community.  Some congregations may plan for a Pentecost celebration with dinner on the grounds where river baptisms and all other forms of baptism recognized by The UMC may take place.

*** 1 Great Day of Pentecost *** — baptisms, renewals and lives transformed for and by Jesus Christ

40 Days of Preparation + 50 Days of Evangelism = A 90 Day Investment in 3000 lives. Sound unlikely? Unbelievable? Too much?  In our 904 churches, this would be an AVERAGE of 3.1 baptisms per worshipping community.  What do we have to lose?  Suppose we ONLY baptize 1000???  Help the Witness Team make this Spring of Pentecost preparation a reality for Holston.  No single group, ministry team or leader can do this.  We believe that God is in this… and we ask for your support, feedback and most importantly for your prayers.

With Bold, Passionate, Risk-taking love –              The Holston Conference Witness Team

Interstate 80

Are you on Spiritual Cruise Control? Moving at a steady pace, but no longer engaged in the process? Fulfilling a duty?

We miss a lot of Exits (Spiritual Encounters) when we speed down the congested road of Christian Routines

One day when you look back will you have chosen a relationship with God that gave you a profound degree of Spiritual depth and an ever growing love for Him?

GPS- God Positioning Scripture

God is infinitely beyond our comprehension or control.

I received this Christmas Gift from a church member and friend and just last night I picked it up and started reading it. Wow, I am hooked after the first chapter. It is written in 80 short devotional formats and I believe this will be something that I read and re-read.
