The Prosperity Gospel, the Central Reaching of Churchianity.
“Let your works so shine before men, that they may confess that your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees.”
“Teacher, this woman was caught in Adultery, in the very act.”
“Go and sin some more, for you are empowered. (But don’t get caught.)”
“Let your works so shine before men...”
I recall a great sermon by Melisa Scott (TV preacher - mega-church??) where she talked about how in the Bible there were three(?) different words translated into “work” in English.
When God works, or a person is doing/showing God’s work it is “dynamos” (as in dynamite, energy, or whatever).
When it is man’s own work it is another word, and then another word for the works of Satan iirc.
I knew a guy that was very wealthy due to his own hard work. But, he was also very generous with both his money and time to help others - doing God’s work. He was also very perceptive to the needs of others and would offer help even if it was not requested. (And refuse helping them - at least with money - if that would not have helped them.)
