This document is a critique of the "modern preacher" and their gospel message. It summarizes that they are strong on outward displays and experiences of faith but weak on inward spiritual disciplines like contemplation, submission, humility, silence and self-sacrifice. They prioritize prosperity, possessions and self-gratification over integrity, renouncing worldly things, and trusting fully in God rather than man. The critique warns that this "strange gospel" turns the actual message of Christ on its head by making worldly riches the primary focus rather than God's kingdom and righteousness.
