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...

 

The Holiness Manifesto

 

Christianity Today Article about Holiness

 

Making no inferences only sharing and hoping you enjoy this information and take from it what you will...

 

A Funny:

 

Park Seeds sent me an e-mail entitled:  FREE POT!

They sent another today entitled:  We apologize, we meant to say container.

 

New Start:

 

Amy at DandelionSeeds is starting a new program called Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge for anyone interested in joining in...

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?

Welcome to my home on the web! I am a 40 year old SAHM (14 years), homeschooling mom (8 years) and pastor's wife (18 years) who is embarking on becoming a chef/pastry chef, and starting a small business while my husband is teaching school, pastoring and working on his doctorate in ministry. We are busy, busy, busy... but I still make time to share all of that and more here. Thanks for stopping by and please come again... :)
