Many people find spiritual growth possible only when times are hard; prosperity tends to promote complacency.

Sometimes believers are hampered in their public effectiveness by limitations that are no fault of their own.

God delights in providing His people with material gain and comfort, although prosperity can pose a threat to spiritual well-being.

Truth can be attested by the supernatural, but so can falsehood.

When believers neglect the revealed Word of God, they are likely to turn to silly and unprofitable methods of insight.

Compassion is easily forsaken in the midst of prosperity, even when this prosperity is God given.

A life that is lived without regard to God cannot be called living.
