Below is listed three relevant passages of Scripture that warn us about the danger of the modern American prosperity gospel and its false teachers..Weak Willed Women Beware!"But understand...

I have been reading through Andrew Murray's classic devotional The True Vine, 31 meditations on John 15:1-16.
