Three Simple Rules: A Wesleyan Way of Living by Rueben P. Job

reflective slow-paced

1.25

outdated, reads like an old white man
this book lost me on the first page when it said “most of never imagined we spill be living in such a divided world” in reference to the post-WWII without identifying America was literally divided by race by Jim Crow 
1. do no harm
- positions do not harm as do no nothing 
- NO ATTENTION to systemic evil. there is no ethical consumption under capitalism 
- it’s not possible to do not harm without not addressing the systems that oppress 
- what are the underlying values of “do no harm?” why?
- good language on self-examination and reflection 
2. do good
- how do you know if something is good?
- weird reflection on self-denial 
- just didn’t really say much 
3. stay in love with god
- only section that was moderately okay 
- I fuck with the word “ordinance”
- public worship, scripture, communion, public and private prayer, Bible study, and fasting
- and extension for spiritual disciplines to include actions that heal pain, injustice, and inequality of our world
