People in general love easy solutions and quick fixes.
Almost like fast food, we want what we want and we want it now.
This quick-fix mentality has made it into our churches and, yes, you guessed it, onto our pulpits.
It is very popular to preach sermons about prosperity and success. If you do this, you will get that, if you give an amount of money, you will get your miracle.
Reality has painted a very different picture for me.
I have watched so many people who do all the right things and very little goes right for them. I have seen people give so much and get back so little. You may ask, but why do we do the right things and give so much if we may get nothing in return?
It is not that simple.
If we do things and give things to receive the reward of an easy life, we are mistaken. God sees all we do and give and his promise is not that we won’t have trouble, but that he will go through the trouble with us.
Fact! The more we are attacked, the stronger we become. Amen!
