Three Questions
Three questions I'd like to leave you with: First, is it possible the belief "that our trust in God will guarantee us health and prosperity" comes only because we are a comfortable, wealthy nation, with access to money and medicine which most of the rest of the world does not have?
Second, are we American [and Canadian] Christians more deserving of a comfortable life than our Third World brothers and sisters?
Third, do we want a guarantee of personal protection, good health, and prosperity so badly that we would dare bend our theology to include promises God has never given us?
