I agree, but I guess it goes against things like the Work Ethic [1], the Prosperity Theology [2] and the funding sources of megachurches, all which take material prosperity as a sign of divine grace. It is strange that some megachurches who espouse "Sola fide" and "Sola scriptura" also directly contradict one of the famous sayings in the Gospels.
