Here are two videos I came across recently speaking to the issue of the prosperity "gospel". This false gospel is something that is very prevalent especially in areas of poverty, including the neighborhood I live and work in.
The first video is John Piper explaining some of the many reasons he "abominates" this perversion of the Truth.
The second is a short documentary about how the teaching has taken deep roots in Africa.
Below is a great conversation between D.A. Carson, John Piper, and Tim Keller about how ministries of the Word and ministries of mercy need not be at odds, but rather natural, necessary outflows of keeping the Gospel at the core of what the church is and is for.
Just wanted to do my part in letting you know about the film "Call+Response", a film about the modern sex slave trade. Looks to have some pretty sweet music as well. A few quick facts: - there are more slaves today than ever in the history of the world - the sex slave trade made more money last year than Google, Nike, and Starbucks combined
May this film be used to convict, expose, awaken, and mobilize a generation of slaves of Christ to give their lives in bringing freedom, both spiritual and physical to the millions of slaves in this world we are passing through.
Check out the trailer here:
