Do I believe in divine provision? Absolutely. Do I believe God entrusts earthly riches to some of His people? Without a doubt. Do I believe material blessings are sometimes a reflection of spiritual blessings? Certainly. Do I believe the gospel can lift the poor up from the garbage dump? Definitely. But I do not believe in the carnal prosperity message, one that takes our eyes off the cross, ignores the message of death to the flesh, and makes Jesus into the sure-fire path to financial success.
