John Wesley in this very controversial piece talks about money and the stewardship of wealth. He talks about right use of money and how money is the root of evil. Money to western Christians is seen as something that is not particularly bad, but Wesley takes this to an extreme by stating that Christians should “Gain all [the money] you can” in this life (Wesley 87). According to Wesley, Christians are to do this without acting dishonestly or by gaining the money deceitfully, and gather extreme wealth in ways that are glorifying to God. This money should allow Christians to clothe themselves, feed themselves, and properly live their lives and the will of God. While Wesley makes a few good points, I do not think that his argument is scripturally
