Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.

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

Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire? Surely it would be torment enough to have the flesh burnt off from only one finger what then will it be to have the whole body plunged into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone?

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

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
Image
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
Image
[When I die] if I leave behind me ten pounds...you and all mankind [may] bear witness against me, that I have lived and died a thief and a robber.
John Wesley
Image
You have one business on earth – to save souls.
John Wesley
Image
The neglect of prayer is a grand hindrance to holiness.
John Wesley

Read the most useful books, and that regularly and constantly.
John Wesley

Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.
John Wesley
Image
Untold millions are still untold.
John Wesley
Image
Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.
John Wesley
Image
Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done ... I go to be with Jesus

In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
