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.

I look upon all the world as my parish.
John Wesley
Image
A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
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
Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire? Surely it would be torment enough to have the flesh burnt off from only one finger what then will it be to have the whole body plunged into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone?
John Wesley

Read the most useful books, and that regularly and constantly.
John Wesley

To slay the sinner is then the first use of the Law, to destroy the life and strength wherein he trusts and convince him that he is dead while he lives not only under the sentence of death, but actually dead to God, void of all spiritual life, dead in trespasses and sins.
John Wesley
Image
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.
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
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
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
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep but lift up your voice with strength.
John Wesley
Image
Faith is the divine evidence whereby the spiritual man discerneth God, and the things of God.
John Wesley

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