The Lord gives?

Christians in America are divided over whether God wants people
to be rich, according to a Time magazine survey reported in
a cover article on the so-called prosperity gospel (September 18):

                                      Agree   Disagree

God wants people to be financially     61%      26%
  prosperous

Material wealth is a sign of God's     21%      73%
  blessing

Poverty can be a blessing from God     45%      49%

Jesus was not rich, and we should      48%      44%
  follow his example

If you give away your money to God,    31%      63%
  God will bless you with more
