My sister mailed me this link last night - it's an interview regarding Mormonism.
http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/12/pastor_joel_osteen_speaks_out.php
I remember one line he gave on Fox & that was being in agreement w/ Mormons about Jesus Christ... (sad, he didn't even know they define a different Jesus)!!
Anyways, I say RUN - this is no Shepherd.
Yes...I was pretty dismayed when I heard his statement regarding Romney and Mormonism.
I thought...a Pastor of 47,000 people doesn't know enough about other religions to teach his flock about counterfeits and false teaching???
This "I don't know enough" is not good enough. He should know enough. He has 47,000 people under his roof.
That is some serious accountability. We really need to pray for him and the people that are being fed the diet of "fluff and stuff" (it does look quite delicious and tempting Floatingaxe

)
I mean consider...they may be feeling all good about themselves now...but what's going to happen to them when the really tough stuff comes along.
How will they endure to the end being so malnourished?
They may be sheep with a positive attitude....but....weak sheep are vulnerable sheep...
Before I watched the Fox interview...I wasn't sure if Mr Osteen
knew what he was doing...perhaps he was deceived into thinking he was doing the Lord's work.
And that may be part of it...but now I think he fully understands what his objective is. He simply rationalizes it as not everyone is called to be Billy Graham or some such...He's not evangelical...that's just not who he is or how God made him...but don't misunderstand...he does
hope that people would get saved in the process.
What was also obvious in the interview was how many times he said "When I speak" all most as if he were being careful not to say..."when I teach" or "when I preach"
Honestly...if I didn't already know Lakewood is a church...or came in the middle of the interview...I'm not sure I would have put it together right away that he is a pastor.
47,000 people....

....and this is not counting his tv viewers...
Chris Wallace noted Lakewood is THE largest AND fastest growing church in the country.
