Hey, if you preach prosperity is a clear sign of God's blessing, why wouldn't you live like a king if you could?

Dollar is at least smart enough to separate his income from his ministry's donation income. If his tax statements are on the up and up, he's in the clear.

What's funny is that the teaching didn't come into being during the Reagan administration as the article said. It actually has it's roots in the Puritan work ethic, which holds that if you work hard in life God will bless you, and if you aren't blessed materially in this life, you didn't work hard enough to deserve God's Blessing. It paints God as a cash-&-carry businessman Who's blessing is strictly a transactional arrangement.

In short, it's Old Testament.
