Bishop Noel Jones Exposes Weaknesses of Prosperity Gospel



Houston, TX (ChristianPRgroup.com) - Once again, another prominent pastor confirms and supports what F. L. Anderson, author of "Clever Lies and Assumptions from the Pulpit to the Pews," states in his new book.

In a report published by Black Christian News Network, according to Bishop Noel Jones, "Unbalanced teachings in the church are partially to blame for the 25 years of health, wealth and prosperity preaching and the prophet should have told us that we were going to be in this kind of situation and circumstance since they have such prophetic words." He goes on to say that, "What happens is the church has capitalized the gospel and we have preached Americanism for gospel and ultimately we ended up crashing because there is no credulity and authenticity in the whole presentation." He continues, "The ministry and the preachers have taken so much money from the church and lived lavish lifestyles."

Church debt, Tithing - What your pastor failed to tell you, as well as Controlling Ministries and Spiritual Abuse is just some of the many issues that F. L. Anderson discusses in his new book "Clever Lies and Assumptions".

F. L. Anderson, pastor of Greater Transformation Fellowship in Houston, Texas, says, "This is an issue that some believers tend to sweep under the rug, turn a blind eye to, or are just too afraid to do anything about it. At the same time, we all at some point in our walk with Christ have seen and (many) have experienced these issues first hand."

"Clever Lies and Assumptions from the Pulpit to the Pews," by no means was written to demean or criticize Church leaders, but instead written to bring attention to an issue that we must face and fix if we are to truly be prepared for Christ's return.


In an article appearing in the April issue of Essence Magazine, Pastor Donnie McClurkin is quoted as saying:

"I get so mad when I see these pimpin' preachers driving Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, flying around in their private jets, and making it seem like prosperity and money is the way of God when 90 percent of your congregation is on Section 8 or can't figure out how they are going to keep their lights on or feed their kids. I'm big on perception, and what would it look like for me to live so lavishly if the people in my church are struggling?"
