God Gave Me A BMW?!

at 8:48 AM

I was a reading a friend's blog this morning and saw this video. It definitely made me think. It moved me. I watched students even here in the U.S. get sold on this kind of message- "Jesus brings wealth, health and riches!" Early on in church I heard a similar message, "Believe in Jesus and everything your heart desires will be fulfilled." Well I tried to believe early on and it didn't work the way they told me. Having lost loved ones and fighting through those pains, the end of this video really puts it into perspective.

Check it out and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    yo man - I have most definitely felt the twinge of anger that seems to be resonating in this man's voice as he shares his heart on this issue. As to not be one who sits in judgment of people or able to make a blanket statement about everyone on a certain medium, but I cannot help but be angered (for the most part) at so many of the things I hear "preached" as "gospel" when I turn on the tv and see some of these religious shows. It swells up inside of me a hurting to know that people are being misled, sometimes out of ignorance of the scripture, but sadly many times out of a desire to make a dollar off someone.

    This is definitely a tough issue and this video carries a powerful message for sure - thanks for sharing it!

    it just destroys me to think that that is the gospel that is being exported to other countries. that in the name of Jesus people take over this poison instead of truth.

    Hey dude,

    Thanks for the shoutout. I found it on E.L. Jones' Facebook page. Definitely a hard core message.

    well i know the pain he speaks of, having lost our child a few short months ago. and i can tell you for sure i didnt feel any prosperity going on there but i did feel God's hand comfort me and uphold my wife and i. i wanted so bad to be able to turn from Him in my anger. but how can i turn from my only source of comfort. God could have stopped the pain from happening but if He had my wife and i would not have been able to comfort friends in their deepest pain just a few short weeks later. we could comfort them because we had felt the same deepest levels of pain. and as much as that hurts, being able to help others makes it worth the pain just a little.

    God is good, always and forever. May He be always glorified in my life!
