Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer ist eine US-amerikanische charismatische Predigerin, Bestseller-Autorin und Televangelistin, die ihre weltweite Medienorganisation von Missouri aus leitet. Bekannt ist sie für ihre lebenspraktische Auslegung biblischer Prinzipien mit Fokus auf emotionale Heilung, persönliche Krisenbewältigung und die Disziplinierung der eigenen Gedankenwelt. Während ihre direkte Art vielen Lesern konkrete Alltagsorientierung bietet, stehen ihre langjährige Verkündigung von Elementen des Wohlstandsevangeliums sowie Finanzfragen in der anhaltenden theologischen Kritik.

Martin Luther

The concern for my daily bread is a material question. The concern for my brother's bread is a spiritual question.

Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.

C.S. Lewis

Material wealth is either a window through which we see God or a mirror in which we see ourselves.

Warren Wiersbe

What a person loves, that is their god. For they carry it in their heart, they turn it over day and night, they sleep with it and wake with it, whatever it may be — wealth or money, pleasure or honor.

Martin Luther
