Subject: Show me the money |
Bible Note: Hello Barb, No, the point is we're not even on the same page! I'm a self-employed business owner and have been for 18-plus years! I've made a fair amount of money doing so. (God has blessed me). But, and this is a huge BUT, wealth is not my God-given perogative BECAUSE I'm a believer, nor does God OWE me wealth. I've read all the "success books" and applied many of the principles contained theirin. There are sound principles of success, that when applied can lead to the creation of wealth- independent of whether one is godly or ungodly! (Look at Donald Trump) That is the distinction I'm trying to make. The WOF Prosperity "gospel" is a recent 20th and 21st Century heresy. It is not ceded in Orthodox Christianity! The delusion of Copeland, et al, is that wealth is our God-given right and we just need to claim it. That is pure bunk! Is wealth the only thing we're after? Is material blessing the sum total of all we seek God for? Or, do we seek the Person of our Lord Jesus Christ, because He alone is worthy of our praise? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
