The Movement Has Money in It

Listen from:
In the Book of Job we read that Satan challenged God, " Doth Job fear God for naught?" (Chapter 1:9). Thank God, we know that many, many Christians serve the Lord for love, and not for material gain. One nobleman sold his family jewels, and disposed of carriages and horses, that he might have the wherewithal to carry on his work for the Lord. But these delusions of the latter days seem to have money in them.
Paul asked the Corinthians, " Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?... Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?" (2 Corinthians 12:17, 1817Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? 18I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? (2 Corinthians 12:17‑18)).
We should like to throw out this challenge to the Movement we have been inquiring into:—Are they using their propaganda for the acquiring of wealth or are they not?
Pastor Shuler writes:- " Mrs. Eddy is said to have made over a million dollars from her false system... The Mormon leader, Joseph Smith became a rich man as the result of his false teaching. Alexander Dowie sprang from poverty to a fortune... Dr. Price, is rapidly acquiring wealth. The healing business is a sure road to money and especially if you have an ' ecstasy attachment, where the people roll and work themselves into a physical seventh heaven. When ' under the spell ' they will ' give the Lord ' all they have by handing it to the ' Healers.' "
