John Wesley

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
Image
Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley
Image
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
