bury: “ The prayers never beseech God for blessings, but always af­ firm that blessings are being show­ ered upon us. Even the old hymns have been rewritten in such a way as to replace gloom with gladness. During the service the congrega­ tion chants certain affirmations in unison, such as, ‘God speaks to me from within and assures me of prosperity.’ Then after the sermon, everybody rises and sings a new version of the old Doxology. It goes like this: ‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow, Praise Wealth, which helps me here below; Praise Truth, the highest virtue known; Praise Health, which everyone may own.’ ” Actually, in the matter of pros­ perity as in every phase that we have considered, Unity is unscrip- tural. Nowhere in the Word of God are we instructed to seek prosper­ ity or wealth in this world. Just the opposite is true; we are warned against this very thing because of the danger of wealth to the soul. “ But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sor­ rows” (1 Tim. 6:9, 10). God has promised in His Word to supply our needs, that the righteous are not to be forsaken or His seed forced to beg bread, but that is all. The only thing Christians can be as­ sured of are spiritual riches— eter­ nal security, not earthly ease. The greatest leaders the church has ever known have suffered every kind of want, persecution, trial; and we have only to read Hebrews 11 to discover what God calls upon His own to endure. Very few of us will ever know financial prosperity. One thing we know: His grace is suf­ ficient for us; and He will see us through anything. NEXT MONTH: Unity and Prayer
