Quote

As theories increased, simple medicines..were forgotten, at least in the politer nations. ...Medical books, were immensely multiplied,...(towards) an abstruse science, quite out of reach of ordinary men.

In souls filled with love, the desire to please God is continual prayer.
John Wesley
Image
Get all you can without hunting your soul, your body, or your neighbor. Save all you can, cutting off every needless expense. Give all you can. Be glad to give, and ready to distribute laying up in store for yourselves a good foundation against the time to come, that you may attain eternal life.
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

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.

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
Image
The giving up of (a belief in) witchcraft is in effect the giving up of (a beilief in) the Bible.
John Wesley
Image
Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.
John Wesley
Image
You have one business on earth – to save souls.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayer support the tottering knees. Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down.
John Wesley
Image
No circumstances can make it necessary for a man to burst in sunder all the ties of humanity.
John Wesley
Image
Purge me from every sinful blot My idols all be cast aside: Cleanse me from every evil thought, From all the filth of self and pride. The hatred of the carnal mind Out of my flesh at once remove: Give me a tender heart, resigned, And pure, and full of faith and love.
John Wesley

You have nothing to do but to save souls therefore spend and be spent in this work.
