Lord God, who didst inspire thy servants John and Charles Wesley with burning zeal for the sanctification of souls, and didst endow them with eloquence in speech and song: Kindle in thy Church, we beseech thee, such fervor, that those whose faith has cooled may be warmed, and those who have not known thy Christ may turn to him and be saved; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Here is my favorite John Wesley quote. I have it on my office door: “If we could bring all our preachers, itinerant and local, to insist on these two points: ‘Christ dying for us’ and ‘Christ reigning in us’ we should shake the trembling gates of hell.”
