[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.

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
