Part 5, “Can Joel Osteen Prepare You for Persecution?” [continued]
Part 5, “Can Joel Osteen Prepare You for Persecution?” [continued] Remember These Four disclaimers: Neither poverty nor wealth makes you more of a Christian Helping people is not the same thing as the prosperity gospel God cares about our money and our health Listening to prosperity preachers doesn’t mean you are not saved 2 Tim. 3:1-5, 4:3-5 1 John 4:1, 4 Matt. 7:13-23 Three main reasons that prosperity preaching does not prepare you for persecution: Last Week: I. Prosperity Preachers Are Not Making Biblical Disciples Biblical disciples mature in knowledge Biblical disciples mature in character Tonight: II. Prosperity Preachers Are Not Teaching Biblical Truth 1 Cor. 11:3 Their tendency is to: Embellish Misquote, misinterpret, or misapply Take out of context Practice eisegesis (read into the text their own ideas) Use the Bible as a springboard Typical errors in their teaching: Wrong view of Christ Wrong view of people Word of faith teaching Five biblical truths about our words: Our words reveal who we are Our words impact other people Our words show wisdom or foolishness Our words are permanent Our words are a choice Lack of repentance Works-based salvation Focus on materialism Self-indulgence, not self-control Ego-driven 2 Tim. 4:3 III. Prosperity Preachers Are Not Proclaiming the Biblical Gospel Gal 1:8 Titus 3:5 Eph. 2:8-9 1 Cor. 1:23-25
