Excerpt from Chapter Five

The presently so called “new concept of God” teaching, that declares God to be so good that none of His children should ever be in want of material or physical blessings, is a far cry from the Pauline testimony. Listen to his words: “I am instructed (taught) both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need”—or to be in want.

Christ exhorts us to lay up treasures in heaven, not on this earth. Matt. 6:19-21. He admonishes us to first seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, THEN the things we NEED shall be added or granted to us.

This presently widely proclaimed doctrine that financial want and physical disease of any kind are not compatible with God’s nature and design toward any of His followers is definitely unscriptural. And in spite of its eager reception, those who advocate such have either “erred from the faith” or were never established in the truth.
