Benny Hinn is probably the worst offender of the Gospel in this respect. At least Osteen earned his income, though he also teaches a false gospel.
“At least Osteen earned his income, though he also teaches a false gospel.”
I spend about 2 to 4 weeks every couple of years at my sisters farm helping her jump start the place for the season. She is not religious.
Oddly enough she watches Olsteen on Sunday mornings. The first time I was there she asked me to watch it and tell me what I thought, and I did. And what I saw on that television show was not so much a preacher, and not so much gospel preaching but when asked my opinion I told her that Joel Osteen is a motivational speaker.
I’ve seen him a few times since and he comes across as one of those motivational speakers we used to get at some of the companies I worked for back when I was subbing for large contractors.
Does Joel Osteen call himself a preacher? I guess he could be called a pastor or a shepherd of sorts. I think he is a motivational speaker. And he seems to be doing a pretty good job of it.
