—Luke 7:24-28

Are health and wealth an indicator of the level of our faith? Unfortunately, there are Christians who teach this false doctrine and others who gobble it up, making these false teachers rich in the process. Jesus indicated that if people had expected to find John the Baptist living a life of luxury, they would have been sorely disappointed because John’s focus was not on the things of this world but on communicating the true message God had sent through him. There is wisdom in not becoming too dependent on the things this world can offer. Doing so may cause us to compromise our message.
