More quotes by John Wesley
Lord, is it not Thy word, if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God? Thou givest liberally, and upbraidest not. Thou hast said, if any be willing to do Thy will, he shall know. I am willing to do, let me know Thy will.
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
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
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
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
John Wesley
Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
John Wesley
It is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify.
John Wesley
At four in the afternoon, I submitted to be more vile and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation.
John Wesley
Any 'Christians' who take for themselves any more than the plain necessaries of life, live in an open habitual denial of the Lord. They have gained riches and hell-fire.
John Wesley
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
If we cannot think alike, at least we may love alike and can anything but love beget love?
John Wesley
Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.
John Wesley
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
John Wesley
I have never known more than fifteen minutes of anxiety or fear. Whenever I feel fearful emotions overtaking me, I just close my eyes and thank God that He is still on the throne reigning over everything and I take comfort in His control over the affairs of my life.
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
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
John Wesley
You have one business on earth – to save souls.
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
When Poetry thus keeps its place as the handmaiden of piety, it shall attain not a poor perishable wreath, but a crown that fadeth not away.
John Wesley
Try all things by the written word, and let all bow down before it. You are in danger of [fanaticism] every hour, if you depart ever so little from Scripture yea, or from the plain, literal meaning of an text, taken in connection with the context.
John Wesley
