More quotes by John Wesley
Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
John Wesley
Gay and costly apparel directly tends to create and influence lust.... The fact is plain and undeniable, it has the effect both on the wearer and beholder. You kindle a flame, which, at the same time consumes both yourself and your admirers.
John Wesley
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
John Wesley
October 6, 1774 I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them 1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy 2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.
John Wesley
My mother was the source from which I derived the guiding principles of my life.
John Wesley
Let it be observed, that slovenliness is no part of religion that neither this, nor any text of Scripture, condemns neatness of apparel. Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.
John Wesley
Do you know why that cow looks over that wall? She looks over the wall because she cannot see through it, and that is what you must do with your troubles... Look over and above them.
John Wesley
Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless and, indeed, as far as it will go, to relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?
John Wesley
My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
John Wesley
Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.
John Wesley
Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.
John Wesley
As theories increased, simple medicines..were forgotten, at least in the politer nations. ...Medical books, were immensely multiplied,...(towards) an abstruse science, quite out of reach of ordinary men.
John Wesley
But as sickness and diseases have created the necessity of medicines and physicians, so the disorders of our rational nature have introduced the necessity of education and tutors.
John Wesley
No circumstances can make it necessary for a man to burst in sunder all the ties of humanity.
John Wesley
The neglect of prayer is a grand hindrance to holiness.
John Wesley
Let me do all the good I can, to all the people I can, as often as I can, for I shall not pass this way again.
John Wesley
Any 'Christians' who take for themselves any more than the plain necessaries of life, live in an open habitual denial of the Lord. They have gained riches and hell-fire.
John Wesley
I continue to dream and pray about a revival of holiness in our day that moves forth in mission and creates authentic community in which each person can be unleashed through the empowerment of the Spirit to fulfill God's creational intentions.
John Wesley
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
John Wesley
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.
John Wesley
