John Wesley (1703-1791), along with his brother Charles, formed a group with two other friends at Oxford in 1729. Among other things it was called the Holy Club. Below is some the reasons why these young men learned meeting together weekly was so important:
1. Because we are ignorant and short-sighted...and often unable to discern things that are excellent. But God reveals to one what is good for another: so that, in a multitude of counsellors there is wisdom.
2. Because we are lovers of ourselves...unwilling to see our own errors, therefore unlikely to amend them.
3. Because we are weak and irresolute...let go our integrity upon any opposition. But a band of friends who are like-minded, inspire us with courage and confidence.
4. Because we are lukewarm in religious duties. But a holy fellowship will kindle and keep alive a holy fervour.
