Two weeks ago the Reverend Paul Cockburn from the London Road Methodist Church, spoke on the life of John Wesley at our Home League meeting. Captain Ian spoke this week on the Life and Passion of William Booth, and used video clips to also reflect some of the story. We were reminded of the influence that Booth had, and the calling we all have to have that influence and be living sacrifices for Jesus. We looked at how William Booth resigned his pastorate within the Methodist New Connexion, because he felt called to an intinerent ministry, but was not permitted, and thus in response to God had to leave this ministry behind him. But his obedience led him to be part of the laying of the foundations of what today is called The Salvation Army. Obeying God is the best.
