Oh, yes, God is a celestial ATM for a growing number of Christians according to TIME Magazine while suggesting that Christians are restating the question, "Why not gain the whole world plus my soul?" ~ BlogHer"Prosperity Theology--its emphasis is on God's promised generosity in this life and the ability of believers to claim it for themselves.
