Spirit of the antichrist my friend. This might be the first time I sided completely with Piper. Wow.

I was really surprised by Piper also. I think that it is funny the way that we are told that God wants us to prosper financially - that our material and physical possesions are God's blessing upon us. IF they truly were, we would be willing to give them freely.
