More quotes by John Wesley
My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
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
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
A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
John Wesley
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
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
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
The best of all is God with us
John Wesley
The man who never fasts is no more in the way to heaven than the man who never prays.
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
Wine, one of the noblest cordials in nature.
John Wesley
The wearing of costly array is directly opposite to being adorned with good works. Nothing can be more evident than this for the more you lay out on your own apparel, the less you have left to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry, to lodge the stranger, to relieve those that are sick and in prison.
John Wesley
The glories and the beauties of form, color and sound unite in the Grand Canyon - forms unrivaled even by the mountains, colors that vie with sunsets, and sounds that span the diapason from tempest to tinkling raindrop from cataract to bubbling fountain.
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
Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.
John Wesley
By salvation I mean not barely according to the vulgar notion deliverance from hell or going to heaven but a present deliverance from sin a restoration of the soul to its primitive health its original purity a recovery of the divine nature the renewal of our souls after the image of God in righteousness and true holiness in justice mercy and truth.
John Wesley
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
John Wesley
The case is this: God offers you one of the greatest mercies on this side of heaven and commands you to accept it. Why do you not accept this mercy in obedience to His command.... God offers you a pardon for all your sins.
John Wesley
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
