The title of the sermon was "What Happens When Things Get Real" and was basically where do you run to when life's issues come about - toward God or toward old habits and sin. The first line from the pastor was something like this: "When we as Christians believe that because we are Christians, our life will be smooth sailing without troubles, we are moving very close to the Gospel of Prosperity". Think Joel Osteen and Crefalo Dollar. Just throwing this out on a Monday morning to see what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a few minutes of Osteen's sermon yesterday on mute, but with closed captioning. His continual flailing arm movements are over the top theatrics. Too much. Way too much. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think that Joel Osteen wasn't totally a prosperity gospel guy because he did not preach all of the time about monetary prosperity. But he talks about good things always happening. I read in one of his first books a long time ago about the time that he prayed for a parking space and got one up front in a packed parking lot. Sounds like prosperity to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that repenting of our sin makes life much easier, since sin brings much trouble, seen and unseen, into our lives. Still, we continue to face challenges, since we are still learning. That would be my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like prosperity to me. Yeah, more or less it kinda is. It's more commonly termed as = 'name-it-and-claim-it'. Pretty much the same, but not exclusive to monetary gains.
