A couple weeks ago I posted some of my thoughts about the Prosperity Gospel as it compares to Scripture.  In particular I was reflecting on some insight from Revelation 2.8-11 – Jesus’ affirmation of the Church at Smyrna. (See Suffering Saints) 

I have since run across this video of John Piper expressing how the Prosperity Gospel runs counter to the True Gospel. As usual, Piper’s message is powerful.
