The challenges of poverty and prosperity theology
The problems with poverty theology:
1. There is a presumption that anyone doing well financially must be doing something dishonest.
2. It exaggerates the role of sacrificial work.
3. They are naive.
4. It can become a manipulative lifestyle.
The problems with a prosperity theology:
1. Prosperity is a sign of God’s approval.
2. It produces guilt.
3. It creates wrong motives.
