JW to RC - Out of the frying pan into the fire. I'm not part of any denomination or movement or stream. I fellowship continually with like-minded followers of Christ and share hosting privileges of our simple, informal, spontaneous, in-home ekklesia where we edify and exhort one another in love.

It's more a question of obedience to God's will for our lives than how wealthy we are. If God said no laptop or internet for us would we obey His will or put our own will first and consider the cost of following Christ too much. Luk 18:18-25 (18) And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good...

Motives are important. Some giving is self-serving and doesn't glorify God. Mat 6:1-4 (1) Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. (2) Therefore when you do your alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee...

You're going off topic, emekrus. I'm only responding to your question, "Is Prosperity For The Present Church." All scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, but it must be rightly divided.

Emekrus, The prophecies that Ezekiel made and which we read in the book that bears his name must firstly be viewed in their context, which is to advise and edify the divided nation of Israel leading up to and during the 70 year exile. This is why Ezekiel is known as an "exilic prophet" along...
