A Message from Our Pastor

Coming Events

;

We all know the Three Simple Rules that we attribute to John Wesley, the founder of Methodism: Do no harm, Do good, Stay in love with God. Wesley was fond of coming up with simple rules that people could easily remember and try to follow. For finances, he said: Earn all you can, Save all you can, Give all you can.

Jack Hite brought the following into the office:

A Variation on Wesley’s Rule

Do all the good you can

For all the people you can

By all the legal means you can

In all the ethical ways you can

In all the places you can

At all the times you can

As long as ever you can.

There are no limits to the good we can do. We tend to apply limits to our work for any number of reasons. There is only so much time. What about looking out for #1? And, there are always people we do not want to help under any circumstances.

But, John Wesley understands what Jesus is teaching us. We are not supposed to be preserving our own limitations. We are, with God’s help, supposed to be exceeding them. And, we are not supposed to be judging who is worthy of our help and who isn’t. That may be the hardest of all rules to obey. Let’s pray for God’s help in giving up our position as judges.

And, my thanks to Jack for bringing this variation on Wesley’s rule to my attention.

Peace and Prayers,

Walt
