I read your wife's design site, and she mentioned this site in an 8 random facts post. <br/><br/>I just find it awesome, that with all the junk on the internet, I can find someone on the other side of the world spreading such awesome truth. <br/><br/>I would also like to say to anonymous, that I go to a large church, but when they ask for money they always emphasize that it should be "equal sacrifice", not "equal giving". This church really changed my mind about large churches, as I had always grown up in a small church. <br/><br/>I go to www.churchatthemall.com if either of you are interested. Previous messages are on there to watch if you would like. It's not up yet, but Sunday our pastor spoke about illness, and how sometimes God will heal you, and sometimes he won't, but either way he will work through your situation. It was a really good message. <br/><br/>Sorry I didn't mean to ramble. I just wanted to let you know how blessed I was to find you today.

Sorry I didn’t mean to ramble.

It is often taught in Charismatic churches and is a topic of many debates. Support for the doctrine usually comes from taking out of context bible verses.<br/><br/>I shall do a post on this doctrine in the near future. Well, this teaching is called a “prosperity doctrine”.

They need more donations and givings so that they can 'live abundantly'. And if you don't give enough, you won't be blessed enough. Then your prayers won't be answered, you illness not healed etc. Unfortunately many people esp. some church leaders, take it to mean to live like a prince (because your father is a king).
