There is some heavy oil flowing in our ministry at Trinity Hill. For a couple years, I have been casting some vision for a holiness preaching conference. The short version: I go to Alistair Begg’s preaching conference as often as I can, and it is amazing. The content, the examples of solid preaching, and the bookstore! Why don’t Wesleyan-Holiness people have something like that? The Calvinists get all the cool stuff. I want to see Wesleyans re-publishing our classic, foundational works in attractive formats. We were making some strides in getting a holiness conference going, but then the pandemic put the skids on it. About 6 weeks ago I reached out to John Oswalt, interim president of the Francis Asbury Society and one of the leading voices for holiness. I pitched my idea, he loved it, but was going out of the country. He put me in touch with one of the Francis Asbury Society staff members, Josh Hallahan, and it was immediately clear that Josh and I were on the same page. And most importantly, he knows how to make this work. Stay tuned—holiness preaching conference coming to Trinity Hill in October. This is really important: whatever comes next in Methodism better be rooted in holiness, in the experience of entire sanctification. If it is not, God doesn’t need us. We were raised up for this.
I remember those days!!!!
