Time to look at Matthew 6 again:

19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Dos THAT sound like teaching prosperity???

Fully agree!!! I read a great book many, many years ago called “Mover of Men and Mountains” by R.G. LeTourneau. It tells of his promise to the Lord about his business getting started and his desire to bring glory to God in all. He said if 10% was good enough for God, it was good enough for him and he pledged that he would give back 90% of his business profits to the Lord’s work. God allowed him to become a very successful and wealthy man but his REAL wealth was in his faith and all the souls that knew the Lord because of his ministries. God DOES allow wealth, but I have found very few people strong enough and faithful enough to handle it the right way.
