| Re: | | "Love fasts when it can, and as much as it can. It leads to all the ordinances of God, and employs itself in all the outward works whereof it is capable. It flies, as it were, like Elijah over the plain, to find God upon his holy mountain.

| Re: | | "One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no occasion of serving God. And, since he is invisible to our eyes, we are to serve him in our neighbour; which he receives as if done to himself in person, standing visibly before us.

| Re: | | "It is good to renew ourselves, from time to time, by closely examining the state of our souls, as if we had never done it before; for nothing tends more to the full assurance of faith, than to keep ourselves by this means in humility, and the exercise of all good works."

| Re: | | "As the most dangerous winds may enter at little openings, so the devil never enters more dangerously than by little unobserved incidents, which seem to be nothing, yet insensibly open the heart to great temptations.

| Re: | | You guys better watch what u post about John Wesley......people are starting to see him as a demon.....
The apostasy has run soo deep today....that someone called Spurgeon "a tool". John Wesley as "dumb".
People tell me that "his doctrine was wrong", i then follow by asking "show me fault in his life"? He was the Paul of the early 19th Century.
Do you know why though? Its because the "prosperous christians" are coming through, and they dont like how Welsey spoke against the rich, how wesley hated money....u see he shows them up.
Like Leonard Ravenhill shares about when Jimmy Swaggart critisizes Finney, for only saving "thousands".
There is an attack on those who are righteous, bold and believe that the Lord can perfect us.....
Well sorry for breaking the quotes.....just something that was on my heart..
"Why are we not more holy? Asked John Wesley, addressing his preachers. "Chiefly because we are enthusiasts, looking for the end without the means." -John Wesley |
