Faith is the divine evidence whereby the spiritual man discerneth God, and the things of God.
John Wesley
Image
Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!
John Wesley
Image
Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.

You have one business on earth – to save souls.
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
Image
Purge me from every sinful blot My idols all be cast aside: Cleanse me from every evil thought, From all the filth of self and pride. The hatred of the carnal mind Out of my flesh at once remove: Give me a tender heart, resigned, And pure, and full of faith and love.

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
Image
I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
The glories and the beauties of form, color and sound unite in the Grand Canyon - forms unrivaled even by the mountains, colors that vie with sunsets, and sounds that span the diapason from tempest to tinkling raindrop from cataract to bubbling fountain.
John Wesley
Image
Whosoever will reign with Christ in heaven, must have Christ reigning in him on earth
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
The case is this: God offers you one of the greatest mercies on this side of heaven and commands you to accept it. Why do you not accept this mercy in obedience to His command.... God offers you a pardon for all your sins.
John Wesley
Image
Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.

At four in the afternoon, I submitted to be more vile and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation.
