The doctrine of creation is about far more than how the universe began. It tells us who God is and who we are. He created all things by His Word and for His glory, and humanity was uniquely created in His image to know Him, worship Him, and reflect His glory.

Prosperity is hot topic in the church. Does God care if a pastor drives a nice car or lives in a nice home? Does God command that all who follow Him take a vow of poverty and starve their families in a protest of earthly comfort? Bible teachers sell millions of books and accumulate mass amounts of wealth, are they in the same league as other wealthy preachers? Some will have deep convictions about attaining any measure of wealth, while others will be content use their wealth to give back to their church.
