So my friend Georgie showed me this article today about financial investigations into 'ministers' in the USA who have made themselves and their organisations very rich through their preaching of something they call the gospel.
I found it pretty stunning and shocking.
It reminded me of this video that i've posted before where John Piper slams the prosperity gospel.
It's awesome, as is he!

Hey! If you like Piper on this, you will also appreciate Justin Peters work on the same... See: http://www.justinpeters.org and be sure to watch "demo."
ReplyDeleteMr. Peters held a seminar on this and comes highly recommended by my pastor, Dr. John MacArthur.
Every time I see that video all I can think is AMEN.
ReplyDeleteHi Caron.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that info. I thought his demo video was great.
I especially liked how he didn't use his illness to emotionally blackmail us. He just calmly showed us what the bible says. If I was in the USA I would definitely try and get to one of his seminars (after I went to hear Piper preach!)
