Quote of the Week: John Wesley

John Wesley

 

Christianity is essentially a social religion . . . To turn it into a solitary religion, is indeed to destroy it.

—John Wesley

Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 makes it clear that life is easier when lived alongside others. Isolation, though often convenient, is dangerous.  Maybe that’s why John Wesley and his brother Charles ministered side-by-side, often collaborating with George Whitfield and other contemporaries.
