JOHN WESLEY MOMENTS
DAVE HANSON
If John Wesley were here today, what do you think he would say about the current political situation?
In 1774 he met with those in a Methodist society who had votes in a coming election, and advised them:
- To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy;
- To speak no evil for the person they voted against;
- To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those on the other side.
If we all took Wesley’s advice, our political atmosphere would be much more civil, joyful, and pleasant.
