More quotes by John Wesley
Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.
John Wesley
The neglect of prayer is a grand hindrance to holiness.
John Wesley
The man who never fasts is no more in the way to heaven than the man who never prays.
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
If I had 300 men who feared nothing but God, hated nothing but sin, and were determined to know nothing among men but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, I would set the world on fire.
John Wesley
Faith is the divine evidence whereby the spiritual man discerneth God, and the things of God.
John Wesley
Whosoever will reign with Christ in heaven, must have Christ reigning in him on earth
John Wesley
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.
John Wesley
I'd had the quintessential liberal arts experience, and I came out of college not having a clue of what to do.
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.
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
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
October 6, 1774 I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them 1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy 2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.
John Wesley
As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.
John Wesley
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
Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
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
You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work. And go not only to those that need you, but to those that need you most. It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take care of this or that society but to save as many souls as you can to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.
John Wesley
Let it be observed, that slovenliness is no part of religion that neither this, nor any text of Scripture, condemns neatness of apparel. Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.
John Wesley
A constant attention to the work which God entrusts us with is a mark of solid piety.
John Wesley
