He [John Wesley] instructed his preachers to “make a point of preaching perfection to believers constantly, strongly and explicitly, and all believers should mind this one thing, and continually agonize for it.” ~ Malony, H. Newton, Jr.. The Amazing John Wesley (p. 42). InterVarsity Press. Kindle Edition.
The New Oxford American Dictionary
defines agonize as "undergo great mental anguish
through worrying about something."
And the founder of The Methodist Church
wanted his preachers to "make a point
of preaching perfection to believers
constantly, strongly and explicitly,
and all believers should mind
this one thing,
and continually agonize for it."
Do you believe Christian perfection possible?
Are you willing to agonize over achieving that mark?
