John Piper and the Prosperity Gospel

The truth in the last line of this video makes me shutter because it is right: "God is most glorified when you are most satisfied in him in the midst of loss, not prosperity." When all we have left is God, HE IS ENOUGH. That is the message of the gospel of Jesus. What gospel other than that does the world have that is that so beautiful? When all is lost, the world has no other gospel to offer you. THIS is the good news of Jesus Christ.

LOVED hearing that again. And it's a great reminder to me as I contemplate potentially losing my job in this coming Starbucks layoff... God is my hope and portion and strength and He is magnified in my weakness and loss.
