God's Word on Greed And Contentment For The Christian

You are told that it is God’s will for you to be rich; for you to have all you need; for you to call into being all the stuff you want. But is this so? Is this biblical or simply greed? What does God really say? What does the Bible teach about prosperity as it is preached today? Prosperity Or Greed? examines the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, to show that prosperity, as it is preached today, cannot be supported by a correct understanding of Scripture. The book shows the dangers of greed and how to avoid them.

Greed is also destructive because it is idolatry: the worship of something other than the true God. The reason we chase things, the high life, and pursue prosperity, is because we worship things instead of God. If we truly worshiped God, we would turn away from pursuing things, stop using His Word and Name in a wicked attempt to get things, and trust Him to take care of us.
