Does God want you to be rich? Hmmm
Love the sound of this recent TIME cover story, per Slate:
The new “Prosperity Theology” teaches not only that riches and piety are compatible, but that God wants Christians to be wealthy, the cover piece reports. Gone is the notion of poverty as a virtue: Rather than ask the question, “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” many Christians are wondering, “Why not gain the whole world plus my soul?” Best-selling author and “megapastor” Rick Warren calls the theory “baloney”: “It’s creating a false idol. You don’t measure your self-worth by your net worth.”
