Short Video: The Prosperity Gospel

Here's a really well-done short video by The Global Conversation of the magazine Christianity Today:

This clip so gracefully and pointedly shows the positive and the negative together in the Prosperity Gospel.

I appreciate it because I feel that there IS a negative AND a positive to this emphasis on the Gospel. When people trash "the prosperity gospel," I get very uneasy, but when people praise it, I feel uneasy too. I think the Prosperity Gospel is necessary and good...for a specific place and time....but I also agree that it's not for everywhere, everyone or for all-the-time.
