Is this true? He prayed this over the homosexual mayor?
YBPDLN* Ping List Ping!
The YBPDLN Ping List is generally published infrequently but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

I don’t know how he managed to speak in all caps or without paragraphs,
but he sure is a smarmy butt-kissing opportunistic snake-oil selling wanker.
I bet the production values were just fine though.
Joel Osteen does not preach true Christian doctrine and never has as far as I know.
Amen.
Barf. This prayer is what he should have prayed.....
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to ask Your Forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘’Woe to those who call evil good,’’ but that’s exactly what we have done. We have lost our Spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values. We confess that; we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism; We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism; We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle; We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery; We have neglected the needy and called it self preservation; We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare; We have killed our unborn and called it choice; We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable; We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem; We have abused power and called it political savvy; We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition; We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression; We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of this state and who have been ordained by You, to govern this great state of Kansas. Grant them your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your Will.
I ask in in the name of your Son, The Living Savior, Jesus Christ
This prayer doesn’t require any real thought to say. That is the guess I have, he just went off the cuff saying sweet nothings as usual.
That don't sound good.
Amen!
Did she pay her $5.95 for the first three minutes?
Would have been an opportune time for a lightning bolt.
As a reminder...
1 Timothy 2:1-4 (AMP)
1 FIRST OF all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men,
2 For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way.
3 For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior,
4 Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth.
Look Joel Osteen is all syrup and sugar coated but he’s not devious nor a usurper of christianity.
Christians are ordered to pray for our enemies.
I have never, ever, felt like puking my guts out over a prayer someone said, until now.
There’s a big difference between praying for someone and endorsing what they do. That Houston mayor needs divine intervention big time, so I can’t argue with Osteen’s prayer.
Even during the time of wicked and depraved Roman leadership, Jesus and his apostles taught to pray for those in authority, to pray for our leadership.
And I don’t agree with Osteen on much of anything else. Definitely not a fan.
