How do you feel about the Prosperity Gospel?

// October 20th, 2009 // Doctrine

How do you feel about the “Health, Wealth and Prosperity Gospel”? Do you feel about it the way God feels about it? I’ve heard so many people speak to me about different prosperity preachers on TV with warm terms, saying such things as, “Well, at least they’re bringing people to Christ” or “Who are we to judge, they get it close enough”. It makes me sick to my stomach. When I think about the Prosperity Gospel, more than any other false gospel out there, I get really, really angry. If you don’t get angry, then you don’t know the Gospel. Don’t you know what is at sake here? Don’t you know what lies are being exported across the globe?

John Piper feels the same way about this as I do, check out this video and tell me that you’re not moved to stand and contend for the truth. Theology matters. The Gospel is not a “close enough” thing. There are three types of people: defenders of the Gospel, distorters of the Gospel, and deserters of the Gospel. Which kind are you?
