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
Image
The man who never fasts is no more in the way to heaven than the man who never prays.
John Wesley
Image
The wicked will gnaw their tongues for anguish and pain they will curse God and look upwards. There the dogs of hell, pride, malice, revenge, rage, horror, despair, continually devout them.
John Wesley
Image
Vice does not lose its character by becoming fashionable.
John Wesley
Image
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
John Wesley
Image
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

People who wish to be offended will always find some occasion for taking offense.
