Can you make an idol out of God? The message of the "get rich" gospel teaches its adherents some principles whereby they can use God for thier ends. The traditional New Testament message is just the opposite. "How can God use me?" is the heartfelt prayer of the sinner who has been set free to serve others. This world and the things of this world are passing away. What you hold in your hand today will someday in the future be lost or given away. But what you hold in your heart will last forever. Today, you can surrender your day to God and ask Him to use you. That simple prayer of surrender is the shortest path to find lasting riches.
