Debunking: Happy, Healthy, Wealthy Mentality
By Karen Girl Friday
Let’s make a deal … with God.
A mentality is floating around in many Christian and church circles. The Prosperity Theology. God wants me to be happy. And healthy. And if that isn’t enough—for most of us, it isn’t—God wants me to be prosperous. To have an over-abundance of goods and services.
Happy, Healthy, Wealthy. I only need to believe, ask, and God will do it.
Debunk #1: Believe
A lack of belief (faith) is keeping me from all God wants me to have.
There’s a popular Christian slogan, “God said it, I believe it, that settles it.” While I understand the awe-inspiring faith behind the statement, whatever God said (in the Bible) is settled regardless of whether I believe it. Scriptural truths are not up for dispute or reaching an agreement between me and God.
