Most of theses comments are bitter,drawn from jealousy and envy,sadly from a place of hatred. You all should listen to the positive and uplifting sermons of Mr. Osteen. Or if he turns you off,try Jesus. Remeber He went around healing the sick,giving sight to the blind,raising the dead. That must have been entertaining! Feeding THOUSANDS with 2 fish and 5 loaves. Hey,"thousands" followed Him around, He had to get on a boat to make room. Joel Osteen is not Jesus,you Pharisees are making a stronger case FOR him and other love & positivity preachers.

I think thats what bothers me most about him. Not only is he a false teacher, he's a boring, bland false teacher. But he’s not entertaining! I think thats what bothers me most about him.

It is simply the Church giving itself over to consumerism. And in America that means entertainment. Joel is giving the people what they know and want and igh on their list is entertainment. Joel offers along with thousands of other churches, entertainment as worship and entertainment as preaching. He just does a better job than most. This is not new.

I remember him talking about Christians in a recession will always have abundance, or something like that. I thought to myself, is that the message of the cross? Jesus said: "In this life you will have my struggles, but I have already overcome". That does not mean you'll always have a big bank account and that will be your security. But, sadly, it's the same old thing all over again, remember Jim & Tammy Faye?
