John Piper and the Prosperity Gospel

My Friend Ron Just showed me this video this weekend.

For me it was a powerful reminder of some things about God that sometimes I forget.

Check it out!

I am curious how some of you guys feel about this little video. In particular my readers who fall somewhere outside Christianity. But I’d love to hear from everyone.

What should the church do in third world countries? I’ve been reading “Everything Must Change” by Brian McLaren recently. Has anyone read this book?

We have been given so much… how do we share it.

I showed this video to Phil Tiews today at the office and he made 2 good points

1. God is glorified both is praising him in suffering, but also when he intervene miraculously
2. Also he finds the prosperity Gospel most disconcerting here in the US. Where we already have such riches and can wind up just seeking more and more

Is the human heart ever satisfied?
