Mike Leake, associate pastor of First Baptist Church in Jasper, Indiana, is not convinced by the unbiblical Word-faith teaching that God wishes everyone to be healthy, happy and prosperous. He writes:
If you are not familiar with the prosperity “gospel” turn on your television and watch TBN for about 15 minutes. There you will be exposed to the damnable teaching that what the gospel is really about is securing our health, wealth, and happiness and our best life now.
