If John Wesley was alive today, he’d burn down the Methodist Church and start again.

What the Methodist church has become is the antithesis of what Wesley preached.

If you want to know what real Religion is, read his book of 44 sermons.

Furthermore, in large part, the success of the Revolutionary War was because of the changes wrought on the future American citizen's lives and souls by the Gospel preached by preachers like Wesley, most notably, George Whitefield, that would unabashedly preach a Gospel of the need for Salvation brought by Repentance, Faith, and a resultant real change of heart performed by God himself.

George Whitefield traveled up and down the eastern seaboard preaching in the open air to thousands at a time, at times. It was reported that some of the crowds were as large as 30 thousand.

Some of Benjamin Franklin's observations on George Whitefield:

In 1739 arriv’d among us from England the Rev. Mr. Whitefield, who had made himself remarkable there as an itinerant Preacher. He was at first permitted to preach in some of our Churches; but the Clergy taking a Dislike to him, soon refus’d him their Pulpits and he was oblig’d to preach in the Fields. The Multitudes of all Sects and Denominations that attended his Sermons were enormous and it was [a] matter of Speculation to me who was one of the Number, to observe the extraordinary Influence of his Oratory on his Hearers, and how much they admir’d and respected him, notwithstanding his common Abuse of them, by assuring them they were naturally half Beasts and half Devils. It was wonderful to see the Change soon made in the Manners [behavior] of our Inhabitants; from being thoughtless or indifferent about Religion, it seem’d as if all the World were growing Religious; so that one could not walk thro’ the Town in an Evening without Hearing Psalms sung in different Families of every Street.

And it being found inconvenient to assemble in the open Air, subject to its Inclemencies, the Building of a House to meet in was no sooner propos’d and Persons appointed to receive Contributions, but sufficient Sums were soon receiv’d to procure the Ground and erect the Building, which was 100 feet long and 70 broad, about the Size of Westminster Hall, and the Work was carried on with such Spirit as to be finished in a much shorter time than could have been expected. Both House and Ground were vested in Trustees, expressly for the Use of any Preacher of any religious Persuasion who might desire to say something to the People of Philadelphia, the Design [purpose] in building not being to accommodate any particular Sect, but the Inhabitants in general, so that even if the Mufti of Constantinople were to send a Missionary to preach Mahometanism [Islam] to us, he would find a Pulpit at his Service
