John Wesley
Image
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

John Wesley
Image
Let me do all the good I can, to all the people I can, as often as I can, for I shall not pass this way again.
John Wesley
Image

My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
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.
