Most Christians understand there is a difference in professing to call Jesus your Savior and truly knowing you are saved. Charles Wesley was no different. Having a father who was a minister and a brother that founded the Methodist Church, Charles felt he was “supposed to” be more Christian than he felt. During a severe bout with pleurisy he was nursed back to health and prayed over by a near-illiterate man and woman named Mrs. Turner and on May 21, 1738 he had his true conversion experience with them at his side. And with thousands of hymns to his credit, we are all better for it.
