The problem with Prosperity Theology is not that it promises too much, but that it aims for so little. What God promises us in Christ is far above anything that can be measured in earthly wealth - and believers are not promised earthly wealth nor the gift of health.

Everyone is in a hurry. The persons whom I lead in worship, among whom I counsel, visit, pray, preach, and teach, want shortcuts. They want me to help them fill in the form that will get them instant credit (in eternity). They are impatient for results. They have adopted the lifestyle of a tourist and only want the high points. . . . The Christian life cannot mature under such conditions and in such ways.

A close look at many churches will reveal that a central problem is the lack of biblical maturity among the men.

Convictions are not merely beliefs we hold; they are those beliefs that hold us in their grip.

This generation must get deadly serious about the problem of Biblical illiteracy.

In the end, the church will either declare the truth of God's Word, or it will find a way to run away from it.
