According to Karen Spears Zacharias author of Will Jesus Buy Me a Double-Wide Trailer (Cause I Need More Room For My Plasma TV a very high percentage of Americans who identify with the Christian faith believe that God owes them financial prosperity and that all they have to do is believe, adjust their attitudes, claim the promises or some such thing. They can, with right thinking, become money magnets.
What is the data? What does the data say?
If you are one such person, are you getting wealthier every month? Every week? Every day?
Oh, maybe you don’t have faith? Maybe you haven’t tithed to the correct TV preacher. Perhaps you simply are not magnetic enough.
Note that out of all the followers of the TV hucksters of this teaching, very few are getting richer. Most of those who can point to an increase in income over the past ten years would have gotten those automatic raises anyway.
Always look for data. Consistent, repeatable results will follow consistent, repeatable data.
The myths, dreams and hopes which sustain us cannot change reality. The data is the data. Or, as some would have it, the data are the data.
