More quotes by John Wesley
I have never known more than fifteen minutes of anxiety or fear. Whenever I feel fearful emotions overtaking me, I just close my eyes and thank God that He is still on the throne reigning over everything and I take comfort in His control over the affairs of my life.
John Wesley
The wearing of costly array is directly opposite to being adorned with good works. Nothing can be more evident than this for the more you lay out on your own apparel, the less you have left to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry, to lodge the stranger, to relieve those that are sick and in prison.
John Wesley
The best of all is God with us
John Wesley
It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people.
John Wesley
[When I die] if I leave behind me ten pounds...you and all mankind [may] bear witness against me, that I have lived and died a thief and a robber.
John Wesley
When Poetry thus keeps its place as the handmaiden of piety, it shall attain not a poor perishable wreath, but a crown that fadeth not away.
John Wesley
Prayer is where the action is.
John Wesley
Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
John Wesley
If I had 300 men who feared nothing but God, hated nothing but sin, and were determined to know nothing among men but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, I would set the world on fire.
John Wesley
In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
John Wesley
By salvation I mean not barely according to the vulgar notion deliverance from hell or going to heaven but a present deliverance from sin a restoration of the soul to its primitive health its original purity a recovery of the divine nature the renewal of our souls after the image of God in righteousness and true holiness in justice mercy and truth.
John Wesley
It is the Spirit that sheds the love of God abroad in their hearts, and the love of all mankind thereby purifying their hearts from the love of the world, from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. It is by Him they are delivered from anger and pride, from all vile and inordinate affections.
John Wesley
People who wish to be offended will always find some occasion for taking offense.
John Wesley
As long as you feel your own weakness and helplessness, you will find help from above.
John Wesley
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.
John Wesley
A constant attention to the work which God entrusts us with is a mark of solid piety.
John Wesley
Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.
John Wesley
They (the creatures) encourage us to imitate Him whose mercy is over all His works. It may enlarge our hearts toward these poor creatures to reflect that not one of them is forgotten in the sight of our Father which is in heaven.
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
