And I am not sure if he does it in the message, but I would also have balanced with how God does IMO prosper.

Jeesh guys, toughen up. Paul used terms translated as "dung" and Jesus called men foxes and vipers (very strong terms in Christ's day). Let's put on our big boy britches and hear what a preacher has to say without wimping out on non-stilted vernacular. Maybe it's because I was in the Army. It just doesn't bother me.
And besides, he's right the prosperity gospel is a bunch of cr@p. Not that God doesn't prosper some... but the prosperity Gospel has twisted the principles of blessings and created a money making machine out of it. Most of the worlds most devoted and world changing Christians were very poor and humble people. This world isn't our home... those who store up their treasure down here have received their reward.
