Does faith guarantee entitlements to believers? What does scripture have to say about the provisions God does and does not promise His people? Explore these compelling questions with me in Welfare Christianity.
Over time and especially in our 21st century, the church is assuming the Entitlement Mindset of our culture— “God, I need help and I believe in You, so I’ll pray for the things I need. And because I’m a believer, I know the things I pray for are righteous and You’ll provide me with all the best stuff”.
This book is based on a discovery of Mark Cornelius’ own attitudes and actions. Maybe you won’t share his concern. Regardless, you are encouraged to read and consider this material prayerfully. We are One Body in our Messiah. If there is even one other who struggles with the realization that we may be living in a flawed Christian Welfare state, then we need to seek understanding, correction and healing together.
Excerpt
I have found, regarding the issue of my welfare, a very pronounced conflict between my will and how it differs from Yours. I discovered how I have been working against You while I was reading about Your wrestling with the heart of another rebellious man from long ago. I find my attention curiously drawn to this man’s welfare approach—his, so similar to mine. Lord, help me to better understand what Your relationship with Your servant Jacob can teach me about my own Welfare Mindset.
