Doc shares the NT Warnings of those who promote a doctrine of Covetousness! Over and Over the Scriptures declare that Those who are covetous WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

In 1744 John Wesley had written: When people spend money on things they do not need, they begin to want more of what they do not need. Instead of satisfying their desires, they only increase them:  Daily experience with his parishioners showed him that the more they indulged their flesh, the more they wanted.

Wesley especially warned against buying too much for children. People who would never waste money on themselves might be more indulgent with their children. On the principle that gratifying a desire needlessly only tends to increase it, he asked these well-intentioned parents: "Why should you purchase for them more pride or lust, more vanity or foolish and hurtful desires? . . . Why should you be at further expense to increase their temptations and snares and to pierce them through with more sorrows?" Would you send your spoiled children to hell?

John Wesley's taught Give all you can. One's giving should begin with the tithe. He told the one who does not tithe, "You have undoubtedly set your heart upon  gold" and warned, "It will 'eat your flesh as fire!' " But one's giving should not end at the tithe. All of the Christian's money belongs to God, not just the first tenth. Believers must use 100 percent of their incomes as God directs.

SMITH WIGGLESWORTH: There is one thing I am very grateful to the Lord for, and that is that He has given me grace not to have a desire for money. The love of money is a great hindrance to many, and many a man is crippled in his ministry because he lets his heart run after financial matters.
