John Piper on the Prosperity Gospel

by Dan on September 15, 2009

I’ve written before about the prosperity gospel and positive confession, teachings that make the gospel all about man and his health and wealth. Here’s a short video giving an interesting perspective on it:

I’m not saying that we should only seek negative things, by no means. But I am saying what the Bible is saying, that we should rejoice if we are counted worthy to suffer for His name, and we should praise God amidst all troubles, like Job.

H/T to Heather.
