  1. In the latter end of the year 1739, eight or ten persons came to me in London, who appeared to be deeply convinced of sin, and earnestly groaning for redemption. They desired (as did two or three more the next day) that I would spend some time with them in prayer, and advise them how to flee from the wrath to come; which they saw continually hanging over their heads. Coaches teach fundamentals.

  2. The Third Rule. It is expected of all who desire to continue in these societies, that they should continue to evidence their desire of salvation, Thirdly, by attending upon all the ordinances of God. Such are, the public worship of God; the ministry of the word, either read or expounded; the supper of the Lord; family and private prayer; searching the Scriptures; and fasting, or abstinence.

  3. - “Stay in Love with God”? - Sacraments? - Means of Grace - Sacred moments? (contact with God)‏ - Use Wesley's list: “Take advantage of every opportunity to grow spiritually.” “Attending upon all the ordinances of God”?

  4. Grace flows in: John 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

  5. Grace flows out. - Do no harm. - Do all the good you can.

  6. Grace flows up from the root. I am the vine, you are the branches. John 15:5

  7. What are the means of grace by which grace flows into our lives?

  8. Private prayer.

  9. (Public Prayer)‏

  10. the ministry of the word, either read or expounded; And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself. Luke 24:27 God answers your questions with scripture.

  11. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. John 6:55-56 Wednesday the supper of the Lord; Wednesdays 6 pm 1st Sunday 9:30 am

  12. Family prayer. Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

  13. searching the Scriptures; (familiarity helps, because God answers your questions with scripture.)‏

  14. Lectio Divina is Latin for divine reading, spiritual reading, or "holy reading," and represents a traditional Christian practice of prayer and scriptural reading intended to engender communion with the Triune God and to increase in the knowledge of God's Word. It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and, finally, pray from a specific portion of God's Word. - Listen - -Meditate - - Pray - (discuss with God)‏ - Contemplate - (rest in acceptance)‏

  15. and fasting, or abstinence. (priorities)‏

  16. One Minute for God: How can I increase the flow of God's grace into my life?
