Quote

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.

The giving up of (a belief in) witchcraft is in effect the giving up of (a beilief in) the Bible.
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
Get all you can without hunting your soul, your body, or your neighbor. Save all you can, cutting off every needless expense. Give all you can. Be glad to give, and ready to distribute laying up in store for yourselves a good foundation against the time to come, that you may attain eternal life.
John Wesley
Image
I look on all the world as my parish thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.
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

For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
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.
John Wesley
Image
Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.
John Wesley
Image
Try all things by the written word, and let all bow down before it. You are in danger of [fanaticism] every hour, if you depart ever so little from Scripture yea, or from the plain, literal meaning of an text, taken in connection with the context.
John Wesley
Image
When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn.
John Wesley
Image
You have nothing to do but to save souls therefore spend and be spent in this work.
John Wesley
Image
It is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify.
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.

Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.

I desired as many as could to join together in fasting and prayer, that God would restore the spirit of love and of a sound mind to the poor deluded rebels in America.

Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
