I might not agree with all that John Wesley said and did but a little focus on some of his perspectives is perhaps worth a tickle.
Here’s a short film in which the Applecart Team explore the methodical methods of the Methodists!
Some thoughts attributed to John Wesley:
“Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.”
“Do all the good you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. To all the people you can…”
“Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils”
“But if God be for you, who can be against you?”
“Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!”
“What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace.”
“We should be rigorous in judging ourselves and gracious in judging others.”
“Catch on fire and others will love to come watch you burn.”
“Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.”
“Earn all you can, give all you can, save all you can”
“Vice does not lose its character by becoming fashionable.”
“God grant that I may never live to be useless!”
“…we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? …be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion?”
“Not, how much of my money will I give to God, but, how much of God’s money will I keep for myself?”
“I have no objection to instruments of music in our worship, provided they are neither seen nor heard.”
“Give me a tender heart, resigned,and pure, and full of faith and love.”
“True humility is a kind of self-annihilation; and this is the centre of all virtues.”
