Exporting the Prosperity Gospel
A few days ago, Out of Ur pointed to this video on the prosperity Gospel produced by The Global Conversation, which is a partnership between Christianity Today and the Lausanne Movement. The Global Conversation is a year-long project exploring global Christianity through videos and essays.
The video describes how the export of the distinctly American prosperity Gospel is affecting Africa:

“The love of money is the root of all evil.”
This is not different that the words spoken by many pastors here in America. In order to feed the passions of the flock, they reduce the Word of God to gaining wealth. Possessions will not help any of us on the day of wrath. I pray their repentance! God is prosperity… everything we can see and feel (money, cars, and clothes) is vanity. It is not eternal. Do not seek the Lord for a feeling of prosperity!
Makes me sick to my stomach that there are this kind of people out there doing so much harm to the true christian teachings.
