Wesley on Wealth Print E-mail
Sunday, 17 January 2010
John Wesley:  "[Wealth] is an excellent gift of God, answering the noblest ends. In the hands of his children it is food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, raiment for the naked. It gives to the traveler and the stranger where to lay his head. By it we may supply the place of an husband to the widow, and of a father to the fatherless; We may be a defense for the oppressed, a means of health to the sick, of ease to them that are in pain. It may be as eyes to the blind, as feet to the lame; yea, a lifter up from the gates of death."

What a powerful message, one that we all need to hear. Thanks Jimmy.

Excellent quote! One must also keep in mind Niebuhr's warning:

"...the descent from Puritansism to Yankeeism in America was a fairly rapid one. Prosperity which had been sought in the service of God was now sought for its own sake."
