What's your gospel?



There can be no doubt that prosperity gospel in it's many forms is the prevailing message of the American church. It's not just the prosperity of the believer being sold but the prosperity of the institution. The institution of the church daily sells it's adherents that by "supporting" the institution the gospel will be continue, lives will be changed, and the kingdom will be advanced. Unfortunately this is often far from the truth. Instead of moving foward or advancing the kingdom the thought process is to fence in the kingdom. A "build it and they will come" mentality that must continually reinvent itself to stay alive. This is nothing like the kingdom of God and is clearly void of the real gospel. So what's your gospel? Is it God's real message or something else? Are you trying to advance the kingdom through suffering or contain the kingdom through prosperity?
