Piper on Prosperity Preaching

John Piper on Prosperity Preaching: Deceitful and Deadly. Here are his main exhortations:
  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.
