Welcome to the Wesleyan Resistance. In an age when society (and sometimes even the church) is publicly resisting biblical values, traditional morés, and political conservatism, we are in desperate need of a “resistance to the resistance.” The Wesleyan Resistance is dedicated to equipping Christians from the Wesleyan/holiness theological perspective to resist the downward spiral of culture and the complacency (and sometimes complicity) of the church. You’ll find on this site articles, podcasts, courses and resources to encourage you to be bold in standing up for traditional Christian (i.e., “biblical”) principles. Don’t let the “Christian Left” silence you! The message of holiness is just as powerful today as ever. And it has always been and always will be God’s requirement of those who are His. Check out The Wesleyan Resistance Facebook page for news articles reflecting the intersection of faith and culture. Your comments are appreciated!

Is There a Cure for Sinning? – And Does It Even Matter?

Patty David -
The answer to these questions depends on your theological perspective, but I would suspect the average person in the pew would say, "No!" to both questions. Here's why. Some preachers tend to take Bible verses out of context to prove a point and to reinforce the fallacy that Christianity is a powerless lifestyle, at least when it comes to overcoming sin. So, they'll quote Romans 7:14-23, Romans 3:23, and others, claiming a constant struggle with sin is the normal Christian experience. And few congregants would dare argue with their pastors! To be honest, many welcome this interpretation because it alleviates any responsibility...

The Sinning Pastor Phenomenon

Patty David -
The pastor who led me and my family to the Lord almost 40 years ago left a lasting impression. Rev. David Errickson (Lambertville, NJ) wasn't perfect, but I never doubted that he was godly. He took our family under his wing and discipled us. He gave us great books to read, discussed the Bible at length, and introduced us to other godly leaders. And he exhibited love, grace, compassion, and self-sacrifice toward his flock and toward everyone else in our community. On my first day of classes at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA, where I was a chemistry and math major,...

It’s Not Over Until It’s Over: Pressing Forward in the New Year

Patty David -
When it comes to New Year’s celebrations, I tend to be somewhat unconventional. While most people are celebrating, awaiting the stroke of midnight, I can usually be found alone with pen and paper in hand, meditating on the previous year and making serious plans for the new one. It has never been a time of frivolity for me, but of introspection, contemplation, and vision for the futures. I have come to learn that most of what happens each year of my life is to a greater or lesser extent entirely dependent on my New Year’s ritual. First come the inevitable questions:...

Is Capitalism Really Anti-Biblical? – You might think so if you listen to the Christian Left

Patty David -
To hear some of our contemporary preachers and leaders in the church, you would think that the Bible directly condemns capitalism. Or money of any sort. Some of these men and women are "thinkers" who have spent time considering the real differences between capitalism and socialism and have determined the latter to be more congruent with their version of Christianity. But many pastors and Christians are simply mimicking what they hear from the "Christian Left," accepting their mantra that it is impossible to "love your neighbor" and be a capitalist at the same time. They have allowed very vocal...
