More quotes by John Wesley
Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
John Wesley
I look upon all the world as my parish.
John Wesley
Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.
John Wesley
I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.
John Wesley
They say I killed six or seven men for snoring. Well, it ain't true. I only killed one man for snoring.
John Wesley
Gay and costly apparel directly tends to create and influence lust.... The fact is plain and undeniable, it has the effect both on the wearer and beholder. You kindle a flame, which, at the same time consumes both yourself and your admirers.
John Wesley
Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.
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
My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
John Wesley
It is the Spirit that sheds the love of God abroad in their hearts, and the love of all mankind thereby purifying their hearts from the love of the world, from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. It is by Him they are delivered from anger and pride, from all vile and inordinate affections.
John Wesley
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
John Wesley
Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.
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 neglect of prayer is a grand hindrance to holiness.
John Wesley
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
John Wesley
Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!
John Wesley
God's command to pray without ceasing is founded on the necessity we have of His grace to preserve the life of God in the soul, which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.
John Wesley
Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley
They (the creatures) encourage us to imitate Him whose mercy is over all His works. It may enlarge our hearts toward these poor creatures to reflect that not one of them is forgotten in the sight of our Father which is in heaven.
John Wesley
Do you know why that cow looks over that wall? She looks over the wall because she cannot see through it, and that is what you must do with your troubles... Look over and above them.
John Wesley
