[Flaws with] the so-called 'prosperity gospel': 1. They depend almost entirely on Old Testament promises of prosperity, which were spoken to the nation Israel and were not repeated in the New Testament to either Christian individuals or the Christian community. 2. They are insensitive to the poverty and hunger of many believers in developing nations, to whom the prosperity gospel does not apply. 3. They overlook the New Testament emphasis on adversity rather than prosperity as the chief mark of the followers of the Suffering Servant.

BROWN SUGAR FROSTING

This is my favorite carrot cake - so moist and rich - courtesy of my
college friend Jennifer Sanyour.
Combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt
in a bowl.  Mix well, then blend in oil.  Add eggs one at a time, beating
well after each addition. Stir in carrots and vanilla. Turn into two
greased and lightly floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 F 35 minutes or
less - until tops of layers spring back when touched lightly. Let cool 10
minutes in pans. Turn out and cool completely. Frost.
Brown Sugar Frosting: Let cream cheese and butter stand ihn bowl for an
hour or so to soften. Cream together at high speed of mixer or by hand.
Gradually beat in brown sugar and vanilla. Fold in half the nuts. Use to
frost carrot cake. Sprinkle remaining nuts in circle around edge of top of
cake.
