Is Your Faith an Investment? A Theological Review of ‘Eternal ROI’
The sermon is fundamentally flawed, promoting a Prosperity Gospel hermeneutic by misapplying Old Covenant promises (Malachi 3) to guarantee material protection for New Covenant believers. It redefines sin as poor investment ('waste') and frames the Christian life as a pursuit of 'Eternal ROI,' which is a form of anthropocentric therapeutic deism. A claim to direct, private revelation ('the Holy Spirit whispers to me') further undermines biblical authority.
