Spiritual Bankruptcy in the Prosperity Gospel
First...read this article.
Now, on with the post. It is obvious that the way we teach about money and the way we use money can effect the world, and more importantly...souls. I am greatly angered that people who do not know Jesus walk into churches and hear such garbage and again walk out of the church continuing to dangle over the pit hell; not having any clue as to what is real or truthful.
It is clear to me that the prosperity gospel is emtpy, it must be abominated, and we must not consider toying even with it's outlying teachings. Needless to say, I have been further motivated to continue learning and writing about what Jesus says about money, possessions, and comfort (I added comfort because it seems as though being comfortable is also included in what Jesus desires for his people...whom he calls to die...and suffer with him for the gospel...hmmmm).

Sara is so rude.
The great theologian Trip Lee says it like this:
"You might want you some change, yeah you might want a crib
But tell me where the Bible say that Jesus want us rich?
It says we should be content if we got food and clothing
That’s the truth and bro, we tripping really being foolish homie"
... and I agree.
