“We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.”
“It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.”
“Does not the Old Testament promise that God will prosper His people? Indeed! God increases our yield so that by giving we can prove that our yield is not our god. God does not prosper a man’s business so he can move from a Ford to a Cadillac. God prospers a business so that thousands of unreached peoples can be reached with the gospel.”
“We should not forget that it will be just as important to our descendants to be prosperous in their time as it is to us to be prosperous in our time.”
“We cannot infer from prosperity that God is pleased with us, nor can we infer from adversity that he is displeased with us.”
“Whether we live in poverty or prosperity, we can still live generously.”
