The recent investigation of several mega-church pastors has some people happy that the Senate is finally getting involved and forcing the pastors to account for their lavish material possessions and lifestyles. Others think the targeting of these pastors is unfair and unmerited. One such advocate of pastors and other Christians living prosperous lives is Dr. Norman Robertson, an acclaimed authority on biblical finance and biblical concepts of successful living. Dr. Robertson, who has been teaching and writing about God’s financial plan and “The Prosperity Gospel” for more than 20 years, is an expert who maintains that the Bible declares that God wants His people to prosper. Dr. Robertson, best selling author, speaker and television personality, recently released a controversial teaching series entitled, “Myths, Lies, and the Gospel Truth about Prosperity,” where he points out that Jesus was not poor nor were the Disciples. He cites several scriptures to support the claim. In Matthew 2:11 Dr. Robertson points out that Kings came to visit Jesus at the age of two and brought lavish gifts. Additionally, in Matthew 27:35 he points out that Jesus wore expensive clothes. Dr. Robertson explains that God wants His people to be rich so they can be a blessing to others. Each of the pastors targeted by the Senate investigation has been a continual blessing to others. For instance, Joyce Meyer created the Dream Center, which brings food and clothing to the homeless, and provides 45,000 meals to the hungry annually. Kenneth Copeland created the KCM Relief fund to provide assistance to those affected by major disasters. In Luke 8:2-3, the Bible states that Jesus, like many pastors, received generous financial gifts from the people He blessed. Dr. Robertson is very familiar with the scripture that critics often cite as the basis of their argument, 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil…” Dr. Robertson explains that the verse refers to greed as the root of all evil, not the possession of material wealth itself. “God desires and even expects His children to be wealthy,” said Dr. Robertson. “He merely cautions them about making money their primary focus.” Dr. Robertson declares that the Bible is clear about God’s financial plan for His children and is launching a campaign to “attack the myths and lies about biblical prosperity.” Through his best selling books, messages, and national TV program, he continues to “take on all comers” as he supports prosperous pastors and attempts to help people understand their inheritance as believers. He wants to help change the way people think about wealth and prosperity, and ultimately stop the media, the government, and society from embracing and promoting a “poor Jesus” view.
