Erwin Lutzer

Finding True Hope Beyond the Prosperity Gospel with John Cortines

Scripture calls us to anchor our hope in Christ, trusting him in both abundance and hardship, rather than measuring God's love by our circumstances. The prosperity gospel distorts biblical truth, making health and wealth a measuring stick for spiritual success. Faithful believers have walked through both abundance and hardship, and scripture shows us that faithful giving is an act of worship and thankfulness to God, not a formula to get results in our life.

No Apology, Now What?

Forgiveness doesn't mean it doesn't matter, but rather taking your hands off of someone else's throat, allowing you to live peacefully with others, and not being held hostage to past wounds. The Bible teaches that forgiveness is an act of faith, and that we can release others to the judgment of God, even if they never ask for forgiveness. This is demonstrated by Jesus' words on the cross, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' [... more]

The Bible teaches that Satan is a real entity who seeks to destroy Christians and that spiritual warfare is a reality, but it also emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in God's power and protection.

Saving on Purpose

Saving and stewardship are not just about accumulating wealth, but about living with purpose and aligning our financial habits with values that reflect the kingdom. Scripture reminds us that we are stewards, not owners, and what we have is entrusted for purposes that reach beyond us. A life without margin leaves little flexibility to serve others, support ministry, or participate in kingdom work. God designed generosity often requires readiness, and readiness requires margin.
