Stayed home the entire day today, surfing through the Internet while clearing some personal stuff. Came upon this on YouTube and am inspired and convicted of the below clip on the prosperity gospel.
Now, I do not know if you have ever heard of the prosperity gospel before, or even your take on it. Quite frankly, I was never comfortable about the whole prosperity gospel thing. Somehow, the focus on Christ is taken out of the picture. Completely.
And it irks me to know that there are preachers who preached about it weekend in, weekend out. It disturbs me.
That's probably why John Piper, as you will watch below, has always been one of my favourite authors to date. His messages 'force' me to think deeper, and questioned myself more.
Let's face it. The prosperity gospel really is no gospel at all.
At least not the gospel of Christ.
