More quotes by John Wesley
A constant attention to the work which God entrusts us with is a mark of solid piety.
John Wesley
This earthly body is slow and heavy in all its motions, listless and soon tired with action. But our heavenly bodies shall be as fire as active and as nimble as our thoughts are.
John Wesley
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
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
God would first, by this inspiration of his Spirit, have wrought in our hearts that holy love without which none can enter into glory.
John Wesley
Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless and, indeed, as far as it will go, to relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?
John Wesley
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.
John Wesley
If we cannot think alike, at least we may love alike and can anything but love beget love?
John Wesley
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
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
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
John Wesley
In returning I read a very different book, published by an honest Quaker , on that execrable sum of all villanies, commonly called the Slave-trade.
John Wesley
You have nothing to do but to save souls therefore spend and be spent in this work.
John Wesley
I look upon all the world as my parish.
John Wesley
My mother was the source from which I derived the guiding principles of my life.
John Wesley
The Church recruited people who had been starched and ironed before they were washed.
John Wesley
Men of learning began to set experiments aside...to form theories...and to substitute these in the place of experiments.
John Wesley
Even in the greatest afflictions, we ought to testify to God, that, in receiving them from his hand, we feel pleasure in the midst of the pain, from being afflicted by Him who loves us, and whom we love.
John Wesley
Catch on fire and people will come for miles to see you burn.
John Wesley
Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God.
John Wesley
