Thank God-Through …
Thank God-Through Jesus Christ our Lord! Grace is not a doctrine or a teaching. Grace is a person and thats Jesus Christ. In other words through His grace we’re blessed and we have the power to Labor with the gift of righteousness, and the forgiveness of sins. Anyone who is bound by the Law, and not grace has not overcome sin.

Does that makes me …
Does that makes me spoil? Of course not. Because paul said on Romans: 7:13 “Law cannot Save from sin” Read carefully. Where sin abounds, Grace abounded much more. Not because He knew the law doesn’t mean he would stopped Sinning. He acknowledge “O wretched man that I am!” Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Gods grace is …
Gods grace is undeserving by the way. I trust on God’s undeserving grace in my life. I don’t deserve anything but through Jesus Christ I’m blessed.

It depends how you …
It depends how you see prosperity if it’s spiritual walk and not worldly then there’s a difference. I’m prosperous on my walk with God because of Jesus, because I know God blesses me everything in Christ freely because of his loving grace he has for me. Anyone got a problem with that? Then your going against Grace. But I mostly agree that we shouldn’t preach about worldly prosperity.

It is true that the …
It is true that the most high God of Israel wants His people to prosper,yes…but in no way as what Joel Osteen teaches.The true gospel is NOTHING like what the prosperity “gospel” teaches.Those false prophets teach nothing but PURE MATERIALISM and WORLDLY things of the FLESH and then twist scripture to back it up.

Did Christ ever preach about how His followers could get a Lamborghini? No.He convicted people of their sin and showed them salvation.

ok, im trying to …
ok, im trying to figure out what angle this guy john piper is coming at, 1st the name prosperity gospel came from the world. that’s why there is greed and every other type of evil attached to that label.
2nd IF loss comes to me by form of destruction, stealing, or killing that goes against scripture. John 10:10 gives us a description of what the devil is here to do, steal, kill, and destory…. that’s not life bearing, and i believe people need to take the gospel for what it is….

Praise the Lord for redeeming and calling John Piper. What a treasure he has been for calling me to heights much greater than American materialism; to know Christ and delight in Him.
