January

How blessed are we to be experiencing another new year? As we look toward the next year with great anticipation, and maybe some trepidation as well, let us praise our Lord. He has a gain blessed us with a new year, and a new beginning. Happy New Year to you and God Bless!

Psalm 148

“Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him all his heavenly hosts. Praise him sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded that they were created. He set them in a place for ever and ever; he gave decree that will never pass away.”

Methodist Moment #2

Did you know...That the word “Methodist” was originally used as a derogatory term? In 1726, at Christ Church in Oxford, England, Charles Wesley formed a society which was known as the Holy Club. These persons were also derisively known as ‘Enthusiasts’ and ‘Bible Moths.’ Within the society, the Wesley brothers adopted certain rules for right living, and apportioned their time very methodically and systematically to study and religious duties, allotting as little as possible to sleeping and eating, and as much time as possible to devotion. This precise regularity caused a member of Christ Church to say derisively, “Here is a new set of Methodists sprung up.” John Wesley, in an address to George II, designates his societies “the people in derision called Methodists,” and in his English Dictionary he defines a Methodist as “one who lives according to the method laid down in the Bible.”
