Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.
John Wesley

I look upon all the world as my parish.
John Wesley

To slay the sinner is then the first use of the Law, to destroy the life and strength wherein he trusts and convince him that he is dead while he lives not only under the sentence of death, but actually dead to God, void of all spiritual life, dead in trespasses and sins.
John Wesley
Image
Even in the greatest afflictions, we ought to testify to God, that, in receiving them from his hand, we feel pleasure in the midst of the pain, from being afflicted by Him who loves us, and whom we love.
John Wesley
Image
Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.

John Wesley

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
My mother was the source from which I derived the guiding principles of my life.
John Wesley
Image
God would first, by this inspiration of his Spirit, have wrought in our hearts that holy love without which none can enter into glory.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
John Wesley
Image
As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.
John Wesley
Image
Prayer is where the action is.

Catch on fire and people will come for miles to see you burn.
