Sanctified Materialism

“It comes to a point where things don’t seem to work the way we’ve been taught they’ll work.”

In a way this is the end of the line for the prosperity gospel: Pilgrims desperate for God’s blessings, but incapable of grabbing them for themselves. Perhaps the only difference between them and me is that for me to be materially blessed, I don’t have to turn to God at all.
