BOB



Good morning. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism came back to his apartment one day while he was a fellow at Oxford with 2 nice pictures to decorate his walls. When he arrived, the lady who cleaned his place was there having arrived shortly before him. She was still shivering from the cold, for she did not have a coat to wear. Wesley realized that the money he had just spent on pictures to decorate his walls would have bought this young woman a warm coat. He  determined then and there to never spend his money on the trifling things of this world, but rather to invest them in helping the poor around him.



He lived modestly the rest of his life. Though his earnings increased significantly

during his life, he gave away all but the small amount he needed to live on.



This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church asking, how can you glorify God through the use of money today.
