Guess the other part of that post of mine was not worthy comment?
God does not give us things so we can give part of them away to help people and keep the rest for ourselves. That idea seems counter-productive.
When we pray for prosperity, Satan's eyes light up. He knows that pretty soon, we will begin measuring our spiritual "success" by his standards. We begin to feel we "deserve" earthly treasures because we are "good". When we receive those earthly treasures, we declare "victory". Then he yanks the money away and we are defeated.
We lke to have a little jingle in our pocket to feel "blessed". The only thing Jesus ever carried with Him was a Cross.
