Money

I. We ought to gain all we can gain but this it is certain we ought not to do; we ought not to gain money at the expense of life, nor at the expense of our health.
II. Do not throw the precious talent into the sea.
III. Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then “give all you can.”
Points made by some upstart preacher that will probably never amount to anything.

I was just wondering what your point in posting this was? I can’t tell if you are in agreeance with Wesley or if you think we ought to manage money differently?

An offered counter perspective would be nice.

I’m largely in agreement with his assessment.

Ahh, see, I thought you said “never amount to anything” because of statements like that…

sounds good; if someone is not pursuing these points to the best of their ability, is it a sin?
why don’t “we” ever hear sermons on this?
those are questions for anybody to answer

Chad,
Wesley was quite the prolific minister as he basically is the reason there is such a thing as Methodism.

Tim, I know.

If a Christian is coasting along and not working to the best of his/her ability, then I think it could be a sin. If those who are not Christians see the laziness (sloth) and think him/her to be a hypocrite, then that Christian has become a stumbling block. I have seen this happen. Of course, some nonChristians sometimes look to find an excuse to condemn Christians.
