I believe the prosperity gospel has allowed people to substitute sharing in peoples' burdens by telling them to get "faith" so their burdens will go away. We no longer know how to be involved in peoples' lives and hurt with them because we are so busy expecting God to perform some type of intervention.
I don't get it when people say Jesus or God called me to ____ whatever. Are they trying to prove they have a special audience with God? It must be nice to have God speak to them so "they" know exactly what to do to make God happy in their lives. I think people on the whole absorb these things with only the left side of their brain. They do not question if God truly speaks today because inside they are either hearing or hoping to hear God's voice also.
