Like a modern Joshua, Asbury possessed the land, in spite of his frequent ailments. He never married, perhaps because he knew his sacrificial lifestyle would be difficult for a wife.
He was so loved by his Christian brethren that more than 20,000 people followed his coffin when he was buried in Virginia at age 70.
Asbury University is named after this giant of FAITH.
It’s fitting that revival that erupted recently on campus also reminds us of Francis Asbury.
Don't listen to religious critics who are skeptical of music being sung at revival, or worried about “emotionalism,” or which translation of the Bible is being used, or which denominations are represented in the audience. GOD please forgive us for cold, heartless Phariseeism & religiosity that tries to quench Holy Spirit.
Francis Asbury would've been thrilled to see young people repenting & worshipping JESUS.
May this HOLY FIRE
spread to the world & may an army of young Francis Asburys be sent out to claim nations for JESUS.
