>> And really Bear, I mean it about the broad brushes. I see fairly balanced Christians getting good benefit out of Osteen’s spiritual pep talks, because they know how to put it all in proper context.<<

There are always exceptions. I have watched him, and those like him for years. There is no sound teaching there. It is entirely “this world”.

>> If I walked away every single time I saw that, I’d be walking all over Nashville.<<

Of course we can’t “walk out” at the first sign or even “pockets” as you mentioned. It’s the over all teaching and where it leads that needs to be assessed.

There is no sound teaching there.

I truly would disagree with that. What it is, is not balanced for a broad mainstream. Taken with the proper perspective there is virtually nothing I have found to disagree with.
