They are self-absorbed materialists. It is all about them and not about Christ.

Once a church goes Mega, I believe it is either for self aggrandizement or profit. History has shown this to be true more than once.

And I don’t leave any church or denomination out in my assessment.

Do what's right. It's good in itself. It also sometimes happens to be good for you.
If you do what's right only because or when it's good for you, you're missing the point.
If you stop doing what's right because you don't always get rewarded, you've lost your way.

Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Tag line for a long time.

Camp is right...Victoria Osteen is teaching mega church idolatry. And Joel is right in the middle of it. MNSHO

Oh my!

**‘do good for your own self’ because obedience, the church and worship are not for God as much as for self-happiness.**

Why did God make you?

To know Him, to love Him and to serve Him in this life and be happy with Him in the next.

I Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Luke 10:27

 

And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

I’m no fan of Osteen, bit I truly believe that if our highest ethic was to take care of yourself first, the world would be a much better place.

Osteen is by far the biggest fraud since Tammy Faye and Jim Baker etc. These middle aged low IQ folks, mainly women seeking feel-good prosperity, who flock to his MegaChurch are dumb as doorknobs.

Silly me, I thought Christianity was about saving our souls, giving glory to HIM and even suffering untold horrors by anti-Christs and their minions.

I do not recall being promised happiness in this lifetime.
