My one purpose in life is to help people find a personal relationship with God, which, I believe, comes through knowing Christ.

The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. . . . I will try my utmost to be that man.

Love every body and fear no man.
It is said sometimes that hard times call for hard men, and this can certainly be said of Peter Cartwright. Peter’s dedication as a circuit rider on the American frontier not only helped establish Methodism as the way of revival in his time, but also saw roughly 10,000 converted. That is saying a good deal for a man who spent most of his time preaching to rural communities and small crowds. In his sixty-seven years as a minister, he preached almost 15,000 sermons. His title of “The Backwoods Preacher” was well earned, and he was an American hero to rival the likes of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. With God’s help, he won the West as no one else ever would.

James McGready and the Kentucky Revivals
About this time, a remarkable spirit of prayer and supplication was given to Christians, and a sensible, heart-felt burden of the dreadful state of sinners out of Christ: so that it might be said with propriety, that Zion prevailed in birth to bring forth her spiritual children.

We should so work as if we were to be saved by our works; and so rely on Jesus Christ, as if we did no works.

God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.

I look upon all the world as my parish; thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.
During his ministry, John Wesley rode over 250,000 miles by horseback to preach the Gospel - a distance comparable to circling the globe ten times. He preached more than forty thousand sermons and published more than five thousand sermons, pamphlets, and books of all kinds. John brought the challenge of new life to the English church when it had lost sight of Christ as the ultimate Redeemer. John Wesley's - with his brother, Charles' - passionate efforts were felt not only in England, but also throughout continental Europe and the developing world - predominantly in America. Methodism would pave the way for revival far into the century following his death.

“The Bible Translator”
Forasmuch as the Bible contains Christ, that is all that is necessary for salvation; it is necessary for all men, not for priests alone. It alone is the supreme law that is to rule church, state, and Christian life, without human traditions and statutes.

I have been in great dangers; many times not knowing when I would be shot down, either in the pulpit, or going to and from meetings…But I said I would never run, nor compromise. The Lord would always put His mighty power on me, so that He took all fear away, and made me like a giant…If in any way they had tried to shoot, or kill me, He would have struck them dead, and I sometimes told them so.¹

“The Apostle of Faith”*
I saw that God wants us so badly that He has made the condition as simple as He possibly could—“Only Believe.”
