John Piper – Prosperity Gospel
Posted by jermaineivan on September 24, 2007
John Piper is one of the preachers I just discovered about a couple of months ago. Praise God for this man who has an uncompromised view of the Word of God. This clip talks about the distortion of the Gospel. I believe in prosperity, because God’s plan is to prosper us (Jeremiah 29:11). But American Churches have distorted the principle of God’s plan of prosperity. Because it’s not about financial and material gain. There is more to it than those things I’ve mentioned.
I don’t think that Habakkuk 3:17-18 was included in this clip. But in the his full preaching, John Piper recited this wonderful passage from Habakkuk.
17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
