Glad to hear it. But which scripture passage are you referring to? Acts 2:21? Obviously, you're an Osteen fan and nothing you hear about him is going to change your mind. So what would be the point in discussing this further?

And...

That's "whosoever believes" not "whosoever leads." We may carry the message, but the Holy Spirit does the work. I've not manually inserted Him into anyone yet.

I've an aversion to the Notre Dame Leprechaun, so I've eliminated his sorry little butt from the quote ...

Could you tell me, do you agree with the rest of that statement?

...for spiritual guidance during a very difficult time in my life.

My letter was never answered, and given what I have observed since, I can only conclude that a lack of an enclosed donation means he or his office help were not interested.

I too sent a letter and with the same results!
Like I said in the beginning of this thread I like Olsteen only because my husband watches him, I personally could not get enough spiritual food out of that ministry and would starve to death. I thank God for preachers like Charles Stanley and Fred K C Price who are well rounded and try to the best of the anointing within them to give the whole gospel in the Word of God!

I see your leprachaun has no pot o' gold. So I'll see your leprachaun with no gold and raise you a leprachaun with a belt o' gold.

I don't believe that's a leprechaun. I think it's Eddie Munster in a bad green suit. And I don't mean "bad" the way the bruthas mean "bad" either.

Hey again Lad,
Actually i'm not a fan of Osteen(God is my witness).to me his message is too watered down to enjoy.and i'm not of the school of thought that everything is smooth sailing if only you have Faith.God disciplines those He loves(swear i read that somewhere before...lol).Bad things do in fact happen to good people.and i dont believe that God wants all christians to walk in prosperity
I'm a fan of God,Jesus,Christians and then People.talking in here(essentially behind ones back)is kinda scuzz y.Joel has to face God like the rest of on that fateful day.I'm not gonna say hes preaching a different Gospel.
I pray tons of peeps hear him speak and they dig a bit deeper and find the Lord

Excellent name for a pro wrestler. Describes exactly what he does for a living.
Which, eerily, also ties in to the subject of the OP....

I'd say "hornswoggle" is a very appropriate word.

I really like Joel Osteen
I love that hes soooo positive about everything. I love what he does.

As a motivational speaker I would agree...as a pastor with the responsibility to feed over 40K sheep...not to mention his tv audience...not so much.

I dont see how its normal for people who believe in God to put down him when all he does is talk positive and talk about how wonderful God is and things he can do for a persons life.
He hasnt done one single bad thing and yet some still want to put him down...for what?
For being good? For believing in God? He is being blessed by God right now.

Joel doesn't give the full Span of God. Yes he is a God of blessing, but he is also a God of Wrath, Justice, and Holiness. All Joel ever preaches is Prosperity, the Gospel isn't meant for personal gain.

But he does have the best intentions. He just chooses to preach about the blessing part. I think everyone knows what happens if a person sins and dosent believe in God. Some preachers just dont tend to go there with it. For whatever reason he does what he does - he brings in alot of viewers and for that alone i think its amazing because it gives people a person to listen to about how wonderful God is and hopefully its saved and helped many as well.
