False Gospels
Nov 11, 2009 Print This Post
I have blogged before on the topic of two popular false teachings, but I watched a video recently that caused me to get angry about them all over again.
The first is the “Poverty Gospel” and it’s becoming popular in countries like the United States. It says, “it is more godly to give everything away and live in a box than to drive a Camry and live in a subdivision.” You can read an old post of mine on this here.
On the other side of the world, however, the opposite false teaching is taking root: “Prosperity Gospel.” This teaches that if you have enough faith, you will be materially blessed by God. I talk more about this here.
Talking with missionaries and church planters from around the world, I am seeing more and more the devastation this teaching is having around the world. Watch this video for a first-hand glimpse of its effect:
