What is the chief end of Man? What is the point of Man? Are we supposed to enjoy the favour of God and get rich? Or is our only reason for existence that we are to Love God and obey His commandments?
We can only obey through being regenerated by the blood of Jesus, poured out for us. Only in Jesus can we live the life God intended for us.
Phil is desperately lost if he thinks that God wants him to be rich as if it were a blessing. We think he needs to do what the rich young ruler was told to do. Give all the money and possessions to the poor in order to become a disciple of Jesus.

Perhaps Pringle “reads” the bible using this method? http://herescope.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/selfie-scriptura.html
A bit sarcastic, but very humerous. I must say, although, that I do believe you can experience God in a very real and personal way. The scripture that says drink from the living water to nourish our soul and spirit, I personally do this, it sustains and strengthens me, a blessing from God. I really like the photo in this link, very funny. I really enjoy intelligent humour.
It is a matter of balance. When Jesus Christ (as revealed in scripture) is not the “sun” the Christian’s “world” revolves around then the acceptance of unbalanced teachings and/or alternative spiritual practices will eventually occur.
The Herescope blog’s tongue-in-cheek definitions helpfully say in several points what old-fashioned books take paragraphs/chapters to express the same content. e.g. compare the difficult wording of a 19th century textbook about religious enthusiasts and their misuse of scripture:
“Another capital perversion remains to complete the enthusiastic abuse of the doctrine of divine influence; and this is the supposition that those heavenly communications to the soul which form a permanent constituent of the Christian Dispensation are not always confined to the matter or to the rule of Scripture, and that the favoured subject of this teaching, at least when he has made considerable advances in the divine life. is led on a high path of instruction, where the written revelation of the will of God may be neglected or scorned. This impious delusion assumes two forms;—the first is that of the tranquil contemplatist, the whole of whose religion is inarticulate and vague, and who neglects or rejects the Scripture, not so much because he is averse to its truths, as because the mistiness of his sentiments abhors whatever is distinct, and definite, and fixed. To read a plain narrative of intelligible facts, and to derive practical instruction therefrom, implies a state of mind essentially different from that which he finds it necessary to his factitious happiness to maintain : before he can thus read his Bible in child-like simplicity he must forsake the region of dreams, and open his eyes to the world of realities : in a word, he must cease to be an enthusiast. ” (pp.77-78) https://archive.org/details/naturalhistoryof00taylrich
Just listened to the entire episode and have to agree with Fighting For The Faith. William Tapley’s message – bypassed that, too weird to even listen to. Phil Pringle’s message – nothing but manipulative lies, Heroes of the faith were not all rich. Beth Moore’s message – more like new age thinking, and she definitely needs to relax and not be so intense. Bill Cwirla and Ron Hodel’s sermons – very good.
I think it’s really great, and also necessary, to be discerning, as the subject matter is the most important topic in life. I listened to the whole download, except for the first sermon which was too weird for me. I learnt a lot from it which I am thankful for. The only criticism I have is the sarcasm, of which I have been known to do also, so I’m criticising myself too. God commands us to speak the truth in love. Maybe he would not be so hated if he didn’t laugh sarcastly at others. Apart from that I really appreciated his message and will definately listen to more of his messages.
I can assure you it’s probably a c3 thing – I’ve been told multiple times in c3 that the Bible was written by rich and successful people.
Yes, Solomon, Abraham, some prophets, some of these guys were loaded. But I’m sure many weren’t. Paul admitted to having plenty and being in need.
Interestingly enough, God made Solomon rich because he didn’t ask for it or seek it.
Just listened to fighting for the faith on Joel olsteen’s take control of your happiness, and Lisa bevere’s message about “herself”. Totally agree with Chris Rosenberg on all he has to say. I’m sick of unscriptural junk food that does no one any good. All it does is create narcissistic “Christians” full of themselves.
