Wesley Questions

Over 200 years ago, members of John Wesley’s Holy Club asked themselves 22 questions each day in their private devotions.

1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am a better person than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?

3. Do I confidentially pass on what was told to me in confidence?

4. Can I be trusted?
