Wesley on Money


Someone came to John Wesley one day, and said, “your house burnt down”, and in responded no it didn’t.  “Yes, we saw that your house burnt down”.  Mr. Wesley responded-that’s God’s house, not mine, and that gives me one less thing to worry about. John Wesley posed four questions that will help us decide how to spend money.  1-In spending this money, am I acting as if I owned it, or am I acting as the Lord’s trustee?  2-What Scripture requires me to spend this money in this way? 3-Can I offer up this purchase as a sacrifice to the Lord? 4-Will God reward me for this expenditure at the resurrection of the just?
