$15.00 to buy a ticket to pray and worship? You could do that at home or church for free, and put the $15.00 in the offering plate at your own church.

We had a night of worship at our church last week. Free to all.

Pray? How about preaching the Word of God which saves, instead of the false prosperity gospel that enslaves!

I would never give to he or his church. They really have some slick business going on. I can only imagine his house, probably in the Memorial area of Houston.

Osteen is a sharp snake-oil salesman.

I cannot fathom the tens of thousands of lemmings which flock to this snake oil false prophet. It’s mind boggling.

I would not give this grinning shyster one single dime. Maybe he needs a third swimming pool.

People want to feel good about themselves without actually giving up their worldly lifestyle. Osteen is the guy who tells them they can do it.

He’s worth more than $40 MILLION dollars. He lives in a $10.5 MILLION dollar home with an extra $2.9 MILLION dollar starter home that he still owns.

And yet he needs you to give him $15 to say some phony prayer. I used to watch his dad many years ago, but I won’t watch Joel.

Too bad Dr. Gene Scott did not live long enough to be able to holler “Now get on that smartphone!”

[[I cannot fathom the tens of thousands of lemmings which flock to this snake oil false prophet. It’s mind boggling.]]

So many insecure people need to be told they are special- that they can be anything they want- that God will always accept them no matter what- they love having their ears tickled with empty hollow fluff because the real gospel is too harsh for them and too much work-

Predators like Oilstein prey on those vulnerable insecure people, and have developed a slick ear tickling message to deceive with

It is sad that so many fall victim to charlatans like him- but that is the nature of people- they flock to those who abuse them

Tickles the ear, feel good religion with no repentance in the promise of you give me $$$ and you will get $$$ in return. Doesn’t work that way.

$15.00 a ticket?

Hey, he has to pay a mortgage on on $10,000,000 house!

Makes you wonder how Billy Graham did his crusades for free.

It does for Osteen.

He's racking up his treasures in this world.

Seems I read something about that somewhere.....

Osteen will probably take up an offering too.
