These teachings exported from the U.S. <BR soft="" />during the 1970’s and 80’s are now producing celebrity <BR soft="" />preachers and religious superstars that draw millions toward <BR soft="" />hope in material wealth and miracles of all sorts. Through media, <BR soft="" />mega gatherings, and temples open seven days a week, health-<BR soft="" />wealth ministries manipulate millions of extremely desperate <BR soft="" />people. This misplaced hope eventually leads to more <BR soft="" />disappointment because our basic problem is not the lack of <BR soft="" />health or wealth, as hard as that may be to see when you have <BR soft="" /><DIV>neither.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.inafarplace.com/index.html"><SPAN>Today, when one says he is an </SPAN><I><SPAN>evangélic</SPAN></I><SPAN>o it is <BR soft="" />far more confusing than defining.
