I once asked a Prosperity Gospel proponent if his church prepared people for persecution. He said, "Oh NO, brother. We are meant for better things. We are children of the King."

Tell that to Christians in Pakistan!

Indeed, with what is coming to Christians in America they are going to be stunned. They will become a woke hot mess social clubs with no moral foundation in God or His word and the world will accept them. I have seen these “churches” there is nothing there. Anything goes as long as the money flows...

Didn’t Joel’s wife act like an entitled brat on an airplane? A renter out west said he got that attitude from Hunter Biden’s wife.

“persecution”

As Christians are unbanked, as the Government harassed Mark Houck and is harassing Trump, as we move closer to the Mark of the Beast, it is a dangerous temptation to tie God’s favor to worldly prosperity.

>If people broke out their Bibles and read it, most of this garbage would go away.

It isn’t overtly stated but frequent attendance, solid denominations, and age (hopefully experience) seem to correlate with lower percentages— so you’ve hit the key point.
