2 | Direction for Prosperity? | Matt 6:19 | EdB | 108889 | ||
Yes it does in Matthew 6:19-20 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal." God has promised to provision us here on earth but provision is providing enough to accomplish what God has for us. The health, wealth and prosperity gospel is sham, invented to tickle the ears of the listeners and to increase church attendance. Notice who gets rich on it. The ones that preach it. Then ask where does the money come from? From those poor soul sitting in the congregation listening to them say sow so you can harvest. Instead of these fat cats living it their extravagant homes usually in gated communities why aren't they sowing into the neighborhoods that need help? As the Jesus told the rich man sell everything and follow me. They them sell everything turn the money over to crisis pregnancy centers, food ministries, low income after school programs, spousal abuse centers, low income training centers. Let them do it silently and quietly and how long they preach about prosperity. EdB |
