More quotes by John Wesley

Image
In souls filled with love, the desire to please God is continual prayer.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no occasion of serving God. And, since he is invisible to our eyes, we are to serve him in our neighbour which he receives as if done to himself in person, standing visibly before us.
John Wesley
Image
All outward means of grace, if separate from the spirit of God, cannot profit, or conduce, in any degree, either to the knowledge or love of God. All outward things, unless he work in them and by them, are in vain.
John Wesley
Image
Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune 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
When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn.
John Wesley
Image
Untold millions are still untold.
John Wesley
Image
The giving up of (a belief in) witchcraft is in effect the giving up of (a beilief in) the Bible.
John Wesley
Image
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayer support the tottering knees. Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
I'd had the quintessential liberal arts experience, and I came out of college not having a clue of what to do.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
John Wesley
Image
Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
John Wesley
Image
Vice does not lose its character by becoming fashionable.
John Wesley
Image
Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.
John Wesley
Image
You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work. And go not only to those that need you, but to those that need you most. It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take care of this or that society but to save as many souls as you can to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.
John Wesley
