5 Sept 2009 Marina Barrage Bible Study

Prosperity Gospel
- Wealth is a gift from God and gifts are given without asking
- Should be good stewards of what God gives us
- The amount of money given to us is given to us -> wanting more than given leads to greed

What is the right amount to give away and the right amount to enjoy ourselves?
- To be good stewards
- Further discuss in Getting a Grip

Is Abram selected by God?
- God may know the person's heart (e.g. Esau's heart might not be with God - can see through his "killer instinct" when seeking revenge. Might not be apparent in the bible about the state of heart of the person)

Should we avoid all strife?
State the truth first, then appease. However, if it has to do with basic beliefs, we should not avoid strife (the same way Jesus was angry in the temple for selling things)

Why should we pray even if God knows what we want?
- Relationship with God
- Worship
- Spiritual warfare?

What is spiritual warfare? (To be further discussed)
