George Whitefield - Philip - XXIX - Chapter 31

Required reading
Life and times of George Whitefield by Robert Philip (available from Amazon or free on the internet, here for example) - Read Chapter 31 (Whitefield's funeral).

My summary
Firstly in today's reading we read an account of Whitefield's funeral.

Then the rest of the chapter is basically a mixture of quotes commemorating Whitefield's life.

What grabbed me
The quote from John Wesley was particularly good: 'His [Whitefield's] fundamental point was, Give God all the glory of whatever is good in man: set Christ as high, and man as low as possible in the business of salvation.  All merit is in the blood of Christ and all power in and from the Spirit of Christ.'

Wesley certainly understood what Whitefield believed in regards to the grace of God!

Next week's reading
