I don’t believe in the “prosperity gospel.”
Not saying God does not provide for His children - He does and His faithful love and mercy endure forever.
But Jesus Christ said on more than one occasion that Christians should not expect an easy life (the servant is not greater than his Lord) and there are quite a few verses in the New Testament that speak on this theme.
Regardless, many televangelists and pastors of mega-churches in America preach a prosperity gospel. I think they’re doing a disservice to Christians by doing so.
Thoughts?
