Rev. John Wesley's Four Resolutions

Wesley’s Four Resolutions

With regard to my own behavior, I now renewed and wrote down my former resolutions.
1. To use absolute openness and unreserve with all I should converse with.
2. To labor after continual seriousness, not willingly indulging myself in any the least
levity of behavior, or in laughter; no, not for a moment.

3. To speak no word which does not tend to the glory of God; in particular, not to talk
of worldly things. Others may, nay, must. But what is that to thee? And,
4. To take no pleasure which does not tend to the glory of God; thanking God every
moment for all I do take, and therefore rejecting every sort and degree of it which I feel I
cannot so thank Him in and for.
