'Prosperity Teaching' still has its teachers and its followers in numerous churches today. There is a massive gulf between such teaching and the words and actions of Jesus Christ. Nevertheless some who claim to follow Jesus actually teach that we should be materially rich. They teach that God wants us to be rich. In fact if we are not rich we are missing opportunities to serve God more fully. Or worse: we are failing, lacking faith, not walking as God wants us to.
Jim Reiher carefully and graciously dismantles such teaching. He gently shows that such teaching is completely out of sync with the Bible - especially Jesus. He shows that people who teach prosperity teaching are anchored for the most part in the Old Covenant and have failed to understand what Jesus did in bringing in the New Covenant. Prosperity teachers misuse scripture after scripture, or fragment of scripture after fragment of scripture, as they pull words out of context and apply a totally alien meaning to them. From the Proverbs to the Gospels to the letters to Revelation, Jim carefully takes us through the scriptures with convicting clarity. He exhorts us to stop re-working Jesus to be just like us, but rather he challenges us to change ourselves to be more like Jesus.
