Prosperity Preaching: Deceitful and Deadly

John Piper @ www.desiringgod.org is covering the dangers of prosperity preaching. He cautions:

1. Don't develop a philosophy of ministry that makes it harder for people to get into heaven.

2. Do not develop a philosophy of ministry that kindles suicidal desires in people.

3. Do not develop a philosophy of ministry that encourages vulnerability to moth and rust.

4. Don't develop a philosophy of ministry that makes hard work a means of amassing wealth.

5. Don't develop a philosophy of ministry that promotes less faith in the promises of God to be for us what money can't be.

6. Don't develop a philosophy of ministry that contributes to your people being choked to death.

7. Don't develop a philosophy of ministry that takes the seasoning out of the salt and puts the light under a basket.
