John Wesley
Image
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
John Wesley

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
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

God's command to pray without ceasing is founded on the necessity we have of His grace to preserve the life of God in the soul, which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.
John Wesley
Image
Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.
John Wesley
Image
Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done ... I go to be with Jesus
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

The best of all is God with us
John Wesley
Image
Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.
John Wesley
Image
Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.
John Wesley
Image
In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
John Wesley
Image
Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
John Wesley
