The biblical gospel destroys morality, external conformity, and list-keeping religion.
John Piper
The Completion of Redemption
Sep 30
The earths redemption is not what we are earnestly desiring.
Damning people to hell with what they love as fallen people.
That’s a pretty good summary of the ‘prosperity gospel,’ which is not the gospel at all. The appeal to the carnal desires of men (wealth, ownership, influence, etc.) as the basis, evidence, and goal of worship of God is, to put it mildly, soul destroying.
John echoes my sentiments exactly on this perversion of the good news.
