A Tribute Post to the Brothers John and Charles Wesley,. Plus John Bunyan Jusg Because.

I was looking for some devotional poetry and remembered that Tozer had regarded Charles Wesley, the great hynm writer of Methodism, as a "mystic" for his deep appreciation of Christ in his music.   So I looked up Charles Wesley at You Tube, hoping to find some of his hmns read as potery.  Did find one but most of sung to music of coruse.  Also found  a biolgraphy of John Wesley which is worth posting:


Boy was life hard in those days.  How easy we have it.  

And here's a video of some of Charles' hymns sung:


And how about some John Bunyan to round this out.  Here's Pilgrim's Progress as an audio book.  Bunyan was a Puritan, theologically closer to Calvinism than Methodism.




These are "the old Paths" P prefer to almost anything in our day because the churches today are so compromised in so many ways.  Methodism has gone almost completely liberal as have many other denominationsa.  Wokeism has taken over some congregations.  Feminism certain reigns in many.
