Spending millions on holiday shows and advertising instead of actually feeding and housing people is also disqualifying. (TikTok screencap)

Man, Id much rather have this conversation in person. But!

...bananas idea that God shows His love and approval by making one wealthy.

Things can get twisted, mainly because people are involved, and people can twist things for an agenda.

Ya see, wealth can be a by product of living rightly for God. Wealth isnt guaranteed to everyone that is a Christian or a good person. And also, having wealth isnt a sure sign that someone follows God, or is a good person even.

I believe, that if a person lives by Christian principles in work and business that they can be more likely to succeed. Being honest, frugal, diligent, respectful etc. Having such qualities can surely increase someone's potential successfullness.

I have notes, but the "property gospel" is "on the money". To turn a phrase.
