John Wesleys Sermon 50-use of money is a very interesting peice. He states that money is evil which is funny because it still is today. He also wants you to understand the value of money and not give into the many temptations (i think he refered to gold) for material or social gain. He also expressed the difficult task of using your money wisley.
"Gain all you can, by common sense, by using in your business all the understanding which God has given you. It is amazing to observe, how few do this; how men run on in the same dull track with their forefathers. But whatever they do who know not God, this is no rule for you. It is a shame for a Christian not to improve upon them, in whatever he takes in hand. You should be continually learning, from the experience of others, or from your own experience, reading, and reflection, to do everything you have to do better to-day than you did yesterday. And see that you practise whatever you learn, that you may make the best of all that is in your hands."
I found this to be the best quote and is very true.
