Actually, the Bible calls us to determine if our leaders are “above reproach” 1 Tim 3.

Osteen preaches a common type of message that is not as common in white churches. It’s the “God’s going to pay your light bill” type of message. If you listen to a lot of urban Gospel music, you hear it quite often. In Osteen’s world, God lives to serve us. We are the focus of the worship. God is merely a conduit of blessings for us.

Obviously you don’t watch Osteen either. NO, he preaches that praising God, worshipping God, and loving God in your attitude and living with joy will bring you closer to God and his plan for your life, it is biblical...a lot more biblical than the ‘hell fire and brimstone’ condemnation a lot of men preach.

Pray tell me what does ‘white churches’ have to do with Osteen’s preaching, his church is multicultural, and so is mine...good grief! You sound like a democrat trying to find a racial issue where non exists. Osteen has a more Godly perspective than most TV preachers, if only you actually understood God’s word and what it says.
