Susanna Wesley (Atonement)

When I had forgotten God, yet I then found He had not forgotten me. Even then He did by His Spirit apply the merits of the great atonement to my soul, by telling me that Christ died for me.

Susanna Wesley (John Wesley’s Mother, 1669 – 1742)

Susanna Wesley (Religion)

Help me, Lord, to remember that religion is not to be confined to the church… nor exercised only in prayer and meditation, but that every where I am in Thy Presence.

Susanna Wesley (John Wesley’s Mother, 1669 – 1742)

Susanna Wesley (Sin)

Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off your relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind; that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself.

Susanna Wesley (John Wesley’s Mother, 1669 – 1742)

Francis Asbury (Preach)

Preach as if you had seen heaven and its celestial inhabitants, and had hovered over the bottomless pit, and beheld the tortures, and heard the groans of the damned.

Francis Asbury (Minister, 1745 – 1816)
