“The sovereignty of God matters to Christianity, and we could go as far as to say that it is un-Christian to deny the sovereignty of God. The prosperity gospel certainly denies the sovereignty of God to the extent that it demeans God to the position of a puppet and elevates man to the position of a puppet master who makes confessional demands by faith. It does this by considering faith as a force and God as the one who must respond to our faith. This is a heretical twisting of true faith.”

“Don’t be surprised by deception. Rather, anticipate it. Assume it. Stay realistic in your appraisal of these days. . . . Don’t be fooled by any of the externals you see: persuasive speech . . . attractive brochures . . . celebrity endorsements . . . big crowds . . . persuasive logic . . . appealing personalities . . . even open Bibles! I need to talk straight with you. Not everyone who wears a collar and uses a Bible is to be trusted.”

“When we get the sovereignty of God wrong, we get God wrong. When we get the abundant life wrong, we get Jesus wrong. When we get faith and confession wrong, we get salvation wrong. Why is that a huge deal? Because all roads that the prosperity gospel paves lead to hell.”

“El diablo no acostumbra a aparecer al pie de tu cama con su tridente y su cola roja gritando: «Aquí estoy para engañarte». Del mismo modo, sus falsos profetas no ganan dinero subiendo al escenario para decir: «¡Entrega todo tu dinero a mi codicioso plan y te daré falsas esperanzas!». Los falsos profetas son como el caballo de Troya, se infiltran en la iglesia.”

“In an unprecedented response to the worst suffering a person can bear, Job said to God, “I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. . . . Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. . . . I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You; therefore I retract, and I repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:2–3, 5–6).”
