Various and Sundry Tidbits...

Posted in Philosophy

I have been reading and taking it easy a bit more this afternoon.  I am still suffering from a dehydration headache and trying to rehydrate as quickly as possible.  Here is a collection of interesting things I have come across today...

 

I came across this list a few years ago and now there is a new movement among holiness churches.  Here is the original list...

 

The Holy Club:

 

These are 22 questions the members of John Wesley's Holy Club asked each day in their private devotions. This was over 200 years ago.

 

1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I'm better ......than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?

 

2. Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?

 

3. Do I confidentially pass on what was told to me in confidence?

 

4. Can I be trusted?

 

5. Am I a slave to dress, friends, work or habits?

 

6. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying or self justifying?

 

7. Did the Bible live in me today?

 

8. Do I give it time to speak to me everyday?

 

9. Am I enjoying prayer?

 

10. When did I last speak to someone else about my faith?

 

11. Do I pray about the money I spend?

 

12. Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?

 

13. Do I disobey God in anything?

 

14. Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?

 

15. Am I defeated in any part of my life?

 

16. Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy or distrustful?

 

17. How do I spend my spare time?

 

18. Am I proud?

 

19. Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees ......who despised the publican?

 

20. Is there anyone whom I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward or disregard? If so, what I am doing about it?

 

21. Do I grumble or complain constantly?

 

22. Is Christ real to me?

 

These were from John Wesley.

 

Here are some things I found online today regarding the new holiness movement...

I was searching for other folks out there blogging about the Holiness Manifesto. And yours came up.

Have you read it? What do you think of it?
