HEALTH & WEALTH PREACHING
The Church of God, for one, claims Christ's atonement provides physical healing for everyone. Who does that sound like? It’s a root of the Charismatic Movement that eventually came to be the Word of Faith Movement. According to the latter, if we just have enough faith, we’ll have perfect health and receive wealth. 
Unfortunately though, the people getting rich in that movement are the ones requesting donations that supposedly show the followers’ level of faith. They say the greater the check, the more the follower’s faith. And those requesting the cash don’t normally seem to have the perfect health they promise to donors.
While the perfect health and wealth preaching is untrue, it is true that God can heal. I’ve seen it and even experienced it personally. But that does not mean God always heals us. We see that in the Scriptures: The Apostle Paul experienced serious illness. Did he not have enough faith? He must not have "sown seeds" into a health 
and wealth preacher's ministry, right? Is that why Paul was not in perfect health? No!Also, Philippians two says Paul's co-worker for Christ, Epaphroditus, nearly worked himself to death. And Timothy, Paul's spiritual son, was often sick. Did Paul recommend more faith for those two so they could to be as healthy as they’d like? No. In fact, for Timothy’s medicinal issue, Paul recommended certain liquids, which might help as opposed to water only. Good thing Timothy had the right teacher. It’s the same one we can access every day in the Bible--no donations required. | image tagged in church,bible,god,health,wealth,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

MEAT AND BONES
People call all the time saying they can't find a healthy church. I have to tell them it's all part of the last days apostasy and getting rid of the convenience Christianity won't be easy; they might have to drive far, or even move. But remember, there's no such thing as a perfect church. As the saying goes, if you find the perfect church, don't go there because you'll mess it up. People ask how to know when they’re at the right church. Well, I'm not saying you should accept everything a particular Christian biblical church teaches, because some of it may bug you. But my general rule is this: Chew the meat and every once in a while as you come across a bone, spit it out. It's not that big of a deal. At least you're getting some good decent teaching. So be realistic. 
That said, if you find you've been spitting out more bones than the meat you're given, 
that place may be a waste of your time. | image tagged in bible,church,christian,jesus,god,preach | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
