Two Pearls

I just discovered two lovely pearls today. Addresses by Dr. Herbert McGonigle:
John Wesley's Vision of Authentic Christianity
and
"A Heart from Sin Set Free" - Holiness in the Hymns of Charles Wesley
These addresses were given at the 2007 New Life Conference in Rora, England. You may listen to them by clicking the titles above; they are live links.

I am listening to the one on Charles Wesley right now. What a delight! It does open with some off-key hymn singing for the first few minutes, but don't let that stumble you. You can fast forward if you wish...

He mentions that three major themes run through all of the hymns Charles Wesley wrote:

Universal Grace
The Witness of the Spirit
Christian Holiness

Oh My! The addresses were good but the singing certainly WAS off key! I'm glad you warned about that I I probably wouldn't have listened to the whole thing probably thinking it was ALL singing!
Ha!
