Aldersgate Day 2011

(Epworth, England - Home of The Wesleys - This large mural hangs behind the Front Desk in the Walker Lobby at Epworth By The Sea.  Seen left to right are places found in Epworth, England: The Red Lion Hotel, John Wesley preaching from the steps of the old Market Cross, The Old Rectory, John Wesley preaching from horseback, The Parish Church of St. Andrew)

Today is the 273rd anniversary of John Wesley's "Aldersgate experience."  We would do well to search our hearts for those experiences when God fanned the flames of our spiritual passion.  Each one of us can have a heart burning brightly and passionately for our God.  If we would but strive after this and expect it, then the revival begun in us would spread to our churches, our community, and the world!
