In our consumption-oriented society, everyone's energy is seen to be directed at attainment and profit. The implication of this matter is enhanced by the explicit obsession and preoccupation with money matters among church groups. It is made even more serious because of the recent rise in the popularity of the "doctrine of prosperity" among certain evangelical groups. The modern-day preacher promotes wealth as a signal of spirituality and favor from God. Instead, they should be considerate about saving souls rather than accumulating wealth and hoarding what they have left over (Luke 22:35 KJV)...
In our consumption-oriented society, everyone's energy is seen to be directed at attainment and profit. The implication of this matter is enhanced by the explicit obsession and preoccupation with money matters among church groups. It is made even more serious because of the recent rise in the popularity of the "doctrine of prosperity" among certain evangelical groups. The modern-day preacher promotes wealth as a signal of spirituality and favor from God. Instead, they should be considerate about saving souls rather than accumulating wealth and hoarding what they have left over (Luke 22:35 KJV). Another matter is the audacious attitudes of some church leaders who think they have the authority regrading the interpretation of scriptures that addresses biblical prosperity. It is because of obvious errors in present-day teaching on giving and prosperity that there is so much uncertainty among those who want to support the work of God in a way that pleases Him. Many questions are left unanswered, resulting in confusion, unhealthy desires to become rich, and many misconceptions in the way the world views Christians in general. Because of the many abnormalities and uncertainties, this book examines the premise upon which the prosperity doctrine is built, and the methods used to raise finances. Moreover, doctrines that are inconsistent with Scripture are identified and repudiated.
