I saw Kinison once in a little theatre in Rancho Cucamonga. Here is one of his funniest bits -

Love it and I miss him.
Amen!
IIRC, Osteen didn’t read the Bible until just four or five years ago. He doesn’t preach the Gospel; he preaches feel-good self-affirmation nonsense, cloaked in a thin skin of Christianity.
No, not required at all.
Yeah, I got that wrong. He paid LESS for the Summit.
“In March 2010, the church announced that it would buy the campus outright from the city of Houston for $7.5 million, terminating the lease after 7 years”
Too funny - HOMONECROPHILIA (language and content warning)

I do not think a comedian could do this today.
I agree that Osteen appears slick as a car salesman, but I know people who he has helped through difficult times. That is much more than I can say for most folks.
Is this just another of the many mansions?
No. He said “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”
There is a profound difference.
joyce meyer lives in a multimillion dollar home and so does benny hinn. creflo dollar too. pretty sure ken copeland does too.
He started out to do good and he did real well. :-)
4. Lakewood Church Has No Cross.... "Like many new evangelical churches, the building has no cross, no stained glass, no other religious iconography.
In places with a strict regulative principle of worship and 2nd commandment derived scruples about images, this would be a good thing.
I thought he was a motivational speaker ... ONLY. If he became a preacher somehow, I would avoid him big time.
“Is debate allowed on this Joel Osteen thread or do we have to follow his Vision?”
Now that’s funny!
I lost track of the number of times my comments on Joel’s love fest threads have been deleted!
A very worldly building, but can it be called a church?
I don’t see an [Osteen Caucus] tag
He can do his self-help guru thing without the trappings of a church can’t he?
the crosses are empty, because Jesus lives
I can’t figure out why this apostate’s teaching keep getting posted on FR. At least, let it be an open thread so we can rebut his inaccuracies.
