Theologian: Most Christians Infected with Prosperity Gospel

February 6th, 2010

Whilst we must all be Bereans and be very careful that what we are taught is what is written in scripture… this article is very poignant.

This false prosperity gospel borders on heretical… In this country we have comfort, and people are urged to expect that from God as some sort of birthright. Does this not eventually produce the signs Paul warned us about in 2 Timothy 3:1-5?

This danger is so prevalent in our society and our churches… where there is a prevalence of this shallow Christianity. It is a symptom of a baby Christianity sustained on a diet of milk. These people never grow, and eventually demand teachers who dilute the milk of the gospel. They look for teachers that tickle their ears, telling them what they want to hear. Not necessarily providing truth, but a sort of feel good thing with a tiny bit of truth.

What then shall we do?

It means digging out our Bible and feeding for ourselves. We all must learn the deeper truths of what God is telling us on our own… For we cannot learn that from the pulpit of even the most gifted speaker!

Thankfully, God provides the true prosperity gospel in 2 Peter 1:5-11. It starts with yielding to the Spirit within, and with His help reading the Bible for ourselves! We must seek the true prosperity offered there, and add to our faith. We must grow!

And we shall find God is faithful… faithful in all that He says. He will give to us true joy. A joy that transcends all.

But, there is only one catch… Since it is freely given to us, we must therefore, give it away. If we do not it stagnates!
