The best of all is God with us
John Wesley

Untold millions are still untold.
John Wesley
Image
Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.
John Wesley
Image
The best helps to growth in grace are the ill usage, the affronts, and the losses which befall us. We should receive them with all thankfulness, as preferable to all others, were it only on this account, that our will has no part therein.
John Wesley
Image
Do you know why that cow looks over that wall? She looks over the wall because she cannot see through it, and that is what you must do with your troubles... Look over and above them.
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

Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree.

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
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.

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
At four in the afternoon, I submitted to be more vile and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation.
John Wesley
Image
May we not say, that true zeal is not mostly charitable, but wholly so? That is, if we take charity in St. Paul's sense, for love the love of God and our neighbour. For it is a certain truth, (although little understood in the world), that Christian zeal is all love. It is nothing else.
John Wesley
Image
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
John Wesley
Image
The man who never fasts is no more in the way to heaven than the man who never prays.
John Wesley
Image
Wine, one of the noblest cordials in nature.
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
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
John Wesley
Image
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
