commentary: The God of Prosperity
A False But Very Popular Doctrine
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 12-Sep-09; Sermon #956c; 7 minutes
Description: (hide)
John Ritenbaugh reacts to Tim Funk's article which suggests that while Joel Osteen preaches motivation and prosperity, he says very little about sin and overcoming. Herbert W. Armstrong used to say that when Billy Graham came to town, thousands of people gathered, but when he came to town, people would leave. Having credentials as a motivational coach or an entertainer does not necessarily provide credentials for a preacher, especially if he does not hold people accountable for their sins.
