‘Don’t get distracted onto a gospel that says Jesus came not just to bring us salvation from sin, but to offer us salvation from sickness, poverty and all earthly suffering. Such a gospel reduces our relationship with God, fails to identify our greatest need, it empties the gospel of its wonderful good news and it robs God of his glory.’
