JUNE 1
Of all preaching, what is usually called Gospel preaching is the most useless, if not the most mischievous; a dull, yea or lively, harangue on the sufferings of Christ or salvation by faith without strongly inculcating holiness. I see more and more that this naturally tends to drive holiness out of the world.
to Charles Wesley, 1772
Do not lightly take the Name of God in your mouth; do not talk of the will of God on every trifling occasion.
The Nature of Enthusiasm
When we are justified, He gives us one talent; to those who use this He gives more. When we are sanctified, He gives us as it were five talents.
Letter, 3rd June, 1779
