I’ve heard him once or twice. Still wonder what is so attractive about him. He is a poor speaker and has no personality that I can detect. Otherwise I haven’t heard him enough to judge his message.

He’s probably many things, a Christian minister is not what I would call him though.

That makes two of us. Though I’d consider going if I got a chance to call him out.

Osteen is in Show Business and nothing more so who's surprised about how Show Biz works?

"How often does he ever mention Christ?"
Quite often and a lot.

Probably the same scheme as many sports programs.
*Join the booster club
*Buy a seat license
*Then get a season ticket

And just so you don’t run the risk of losing the ticket they implant a chip in the back of your hand that is swiped when you enter the worship venue..

Mention Christ?

He denied him once on National TV!

Personally, I think a positive Godly message includes clearly stating that Jesus is the only way to God and that homosexuality is a sin.

Osteen has had problems doing so-—and more than once.

If you can’t take a firm stand and agree with God’s word, ARE you for Him?

Also, as far as “judgment” goes, you should check out the Scriptures which instruct us to make righteous judgments.

What kind of Christian can’t distinguish between right and wrong?

If the man gets people curious about Christ, isn’t that a positive?

Not if he is curious about the wrong Christ ... he will only be led astray.

If your message is "accept Jesus and enjoy your best life now" ... people will pursue the wrong Christ.

Hell if I know, but then I’ll go to see a good performer be it opera or thrash metal.
