Equating Faith and Prosperity

Christians equate faith with prosperity in this world. This is so, even though Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world.

What are our priorities? Collectively Christians spend billions of dollars on church buildings. The value of the property owned by churches exceeds $200 billion. Churches have money and possessions and we build memorials to us. Our buildings testify to our belief that prosperity validates our faith while consuming our time and money. With Jesus as our example we are to spend our lives for Him among the needy.
