An impassioned call for Christian churches to return to the values of service, love, and grace—and reject the twenty-first century gospel of material prosperity.
The lack of accountability in Christian churches has rendered them powerless to meet the spiritual needs of humanity. America needs a renaissance of the human spirit, and the church must serve society by spreading God’s love through the gospel. The twenty-first century gospel of material prosperity over spiritual prosperity, as proclaimed by some pastoral leaders, has no place in the Christian doctrine. This materialistic perspective has shaken the foundation of the church.
Today’s worship is full of pomp, circumstance, and emotionalism, but not a lot of the love, grace, and service that was exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus. This book urges Christians to remember who started the church and what its most important values truly are. The greatest line item in a church’s budget should be benevolence, not lavish pastoral lifestyles.
