"The Day the Offering Plate Took My Joy"

Written By Life Anchor Coach

For those who lost money, hope, and trust under false teaching.

I’ve seen it: the endless “sow a seed” sermons, the manipulation of desperate hearts, the promises of miracles if you just give more. I’ve watched families empty savings accounts, sell cars, and go without — all for a “blessing” that never came.

  • Jeremiah 23 warns of shepherds who destroy instead of feed.

  • False teaching is not just bad doctrine — it’s spiritual theft.

  • God’s blessings are not for sale; they’re secured in Christ.

  • How has false teaching distorted your view of God’s generosity?

  • What have you lost — money, relationships, trust — in pursuit of promises that never came?

  • How does it feel to hear that you already have “every spiritual blessing” in Christ (Ephesians 1:3)?

“Lord, restore the years stolen by lies. Teach me to see You as the generous Father You truly are.”
