Three Simple Rules
At Annual Conference, I received a free copy of Bishop Rueben Job’s book “Three Simple Rules: A Wesleyan Way of Living“. It’s a quick read that reminds readers of the importance to focus on living out ones faith on a daily basis.
As you can tell, it brings out “three simple rules.” These are three memorable statements that, if followed and lived out, will help enrich one’s faith journey. The rules are:
1. Do No Harm
2. Do Good
3. Stay in Love with God
In the next few days, I will write some of my thoughts on these three simple rules.
I do appreciate the rules. And, since reading the book, I’ve kept these statements before me on a daily basis and they do serve as wonderful reminders of what my life is all about. However, I think it’s funny that the subtitle is “A Wesleyan Way of Living”. Yes, I know these rules generate from the teachings of John Wesley. I wish the subtitle was “A Jesus Way of Living.” There are times when I feel we Methodist’s get too caught up in Methodism and our Wesleyan heritage. But, the rules do lead us to Jesus…and that’s what is important.
could i borrow the book?
