Friendship Evangelism Is Not Gospel
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of this world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore desireth to be a friend of the world is an enemy of God. –James 4:4
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? –2 Corinthians 6:14-15
Can two walk together, except they be agreed? –Amos 3:3
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. –1 John 2:15-17
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. –Ephesians 4:11
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. –2 Timothy 4:5, addressed to a pastor

Supernatural Theology 79: Are There Real Christian Prophets Alive Today?
When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. –The Lord God in Numbers 12:6
I am sending you prophets. –Jesus in Matthew 23:34
In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. –Acts 2:17
Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers. –Ephesians 4:11
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. –1 Corinthians 14:1

Supernatural Theology 78: Is There a Spirit of Poverty?
“Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me.” –Mark 9:38-39
Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. –Proverbs 30:7-9
Allowing that diligence and frugality must produce riches, is there no means to hinder riches from destroying the religion of those that possess them? I can see only one possible way; find out another who can. Do you gain all you can, and save all you can? Then you must, in the nature of things, grow rich. Then if you have any desire to escape the damnation of hell, give all you can; otherwise I can have no more hope of your salvation, than of that of Judas Iscariot. –John Wesley
