Wesley’s advice to bloggers

Posted on January 7, 2013 by John Meunier

Richard Hall, a Methodist minister in Wales and one of the first Methobloggers I started following regularly, has an excellent reminder about the dangers of “evil speaking” sparked by reading Christians being unChristian in blog comments on another blog.

Words from Wesley

I love, strictly speaking, no opinion at all. I trample upon opinion, be it right or wrong. I want, I value, I preach, the love of God and man.

— John Wesley
