    To the Lord, Jesus Christ, for we are your workmanship, created in you for good works (Eph. 2:10)

    No man has a right to be idle.... [W]here is it that in such a world as this, health, and leisure, and affluence may not find some ignorance to instruct, some wrong to redress, some want to supply, some misery to alleviate?

    William Wilberforce, A Practical View of Christianity

    Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

    Matthew 5:16

    We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

    Ephesians 2:10

    Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

    Ephesians 5:15 17

    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.

    John Wesley
