GOSPEL TRACT SERIES: Correcting The Errors Of The Gospel Preachers - by Pastor Edward Freedom
TRACT NO. 6
"POVERTY IS NOT A CURSE AND WEALTH IS NOT PROOF OF GOD'S APPROVAL"
"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." - 1 Timothy 6:10
THE POPULAR ERROR
One of the greatest errors in the modern church is this teaching:
"If you are poor, you are under a curse! If you are rich, God approves of you! A true child of God cannot be poor!"
Because of this error, the poor are despised in church. If a brother comes in a torn shirt, he is not allowed to sit in front. The rich are given special seats, special titles, and special prayers, even if they are living in sin.
And many Christians have joined cults, Yahoo, rituals, and stolen from their offices just to prove they are not under a curse. They want to be called "blessed" by man.
This teaching has made the church a place of money worship, not God worship. We must correct it.
