More quotes by John Wesley

Image
Faith is the divine evidence whereby the spiritual man discerneth God, and the things of God.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
Untold millions are still untold.
John Wesley
Image
In souls filled with love, the desire to please God is continual prayer.
John Wesley

For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
John Wesley
Image
All outward means of grace, if separate from the spirit of God, cannot profit, or conduce, in any degree, either to the knowledge or love of God. All outward things, unless he work in them and by them, are in vain.
John Wesley
Image
I'd had the quintessential liberal arts experience, and I came out of college not having a clue of what to do.
John Wesley
Image
The giving up of (a belief in) witchcraft is in effect the giving up of (a beilief in) the Bible.
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
Image
Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.
John Wesley
Image
Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree.
John Wesley
Image
Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.
John Wesley
