But alas, from researching Joel Osteen online, I stumbled upon a very powerful, Bible-based, Christ-centered, heart piercing preacher in Paul Washer: http://www.heartcrymissionary.com/resources/sermons/paul_washer

I notice that Joel Osteen’s authority is “the scripture.” Law school taught me that if you cite authority always cite the specific authority. Pastors who study their Bible could cite specific scripture verses so that the listener can always check it with the Bible. I have a hard time distinguishing Joel Osteen from Norman Vincent Peale or Tony Robbins. Vauge general principles, even if seemingly positive, is suspect. And people who get deceived by such “prosperity gospel” are the people who do not check their Bibles to discern whether the speaker is coming from God or coming from somewhere else.

This week I am teaching and leading a conversation on Acts 13. Paul here confronted the false teachers of false Gospels and brought people back to the person of Jesus…

I would not paint MD as the “Paul” in this scenario, but not all gospels the THE Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Joel Osteen’s ministry seems to focus on making people feel good about themselves. I don’t believe that his mission is to preach the Word of God or lead souls to Christ. Obvisously, I do not know his heart. However, I watch his “tv show” praying that he would prove me wrong. Instead, I leave with a greater sorrow.

No one wants to preach obedience, sacrifice, or the wages of sin. Why? Because those topics do not sell books or fill offering plates.

When will we stop trying to make people feel good about themselves? When will we stop preaching to the flesh and start preaching to the soul?

Terry, Well-stated!

“What is not in doubt is that the church (the body of Christ) will be built and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”
