More quotes by John Wesley

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

Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
John Wesley

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.
John Wesley

Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley

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

John Wesley
Image
May we not say, that true zeal is not mostly charitable, but wholly so? That is, if we take charity in St. Paul's sense, for love the love of God and our neighbour. For it is a certain truth, (although little understood in the world), that Christian zeal is all love. It is nothing else.
John Wesley
Image
Men of learning began to set experiments aside...to form theories...and to substitute these in the place of experiments.
John Wesley
Image
In returning I read a very different book, published by an honest Quaker , on that execrable sum of all villanies, commonly called the Slave-trade.
John Wesley
Image
Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul.
John Wesley
Image
I have never known more than fifteen minutes of anxiety or fear. Whenever I feel fearful emotions overtaking me, I just close my eyes and thank God that He is still on the throne reigning over everything and I take comfort in His control over the affairs of my life.
John Wesley
Image
At four in the afternoon, I submitted to be more vile and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation.
John Wesley
Image
Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.
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
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep but lift up your voice with strength.
John Wesley
