I have a question about a statement that Paris Reidhead makes in the Revival Hymn/Ten Shekels and a Shirt.
There is a part where he starts talking about John Wesley:
"And this is the difference between 20th century
preaching and the preaching of John Wesley.
Wesley was a preacher of righteousness that exalted the holiness of God. [b]And when he would stand there with the two to three-hour sermons that he was accustomed to deliver in the open air and he would exalt the holiness of God and the law of God and the righteousness of God and the justice of God and the wisdom of His requirements and the justice of His wrath and His anger and then he would turn to sinners and tell them of the
enormity of their crimes and their open rebellion and theie treason and their anarchy.[b]on one occasion it is reliably reported that when the people dispersed, there were 1,800 people lying on the ground utterly unconscious because they’d had a revelation of the holiness of God and in the light of that, they’d seen the enormity of their sin. And God had so penetrated their minds and hearts that they had fallen to the ground.
It wasn’t trying to convince good man that he was in trouble with a bad God. But that it was to
that they deserved the wrath and anger of a good God."
The parts that I have high lighted, does anyonw know of any of the specific John Wesley sermons that Paris Reidhead was referring to-I am asking because I would love to find them and read them if possible? Or, if not the specific sermon, does anyone know of any sermons of Wesley that would in anyway or form match or relate to what Reidhead spoke of. Say sermons of Wesly upholding the holiness of God, the law of God.
