Billy Sticker critiques churches that celebrate surprise insurance checks as divine grace, arguing believers shouldn't depend on occasional miracles for survival. He calls for better teaching that emphasizes steady, ongoing blessings instead of sporadic windfalls.
And then we have, you know, these churches. One of the things that I'll talk about sometimes, and I really believe the pastors mean well, but you'll hear, hey, we gave, you know, my wife and I committed X amount to the building fund, and then the next week we got a check in the mail from the insurance company we weren't even expecting. Right. Well, that's grace. Right. Which is good. 100%. But God does not want to sustain you on grace. And then what happens when somebody else gives and they don't? And they don't get a check from the insurance company. Right. You know, and so, uh, it's— I just think the church needs to do a better job teaching people it is okay to be blessed. It is.
