Do All You Can

John Wesley was preacher, theologian, and founder of the Methodist Church. If you see the name Wesleyan used at any college, nursing home, or other community organizations— you know it has Methodist roots.

His wise words have stood the test of time. Here are three quotes. If you don’t find them stirring, you don’t have a pulse!

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as you ever can.

God entrusted you with money
To feed the hungry,
To clothe the naked,
To help the stranger,
The widow,
The fatherless;
And, indeed as far as it will go to relieve the wants of all mankind.

How can you,
How dare you,
Defraud the Lord by applying it to any other purpose?
