It’s interesting to note, that the Left isn’t completely distancing from Kanye, like I would have expected.
How much money did it make for Osteen? That’s all he cares about.
I’m proud of Kanye.
I know he is sincere just by looking at his face as he speaks of Jesus.
I saw Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian and their daughter being introduced at the Service after Kanye’s testimony. She was actually dressed modestly.
I am quite curious as to what this turn of events would do to the Kardashian reality show on TV ( especially with Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner in it ).
I hope this is a pathway to true faith for many.
Me, too.
That’s what I’m keeping my eye on to know if this is legit or not. I’ll give Kanye the benefit of the doubt for now. If he is sincere, this could be a watershed moment.
I don’t know about you but something about this makes me uneasy. Calling people to the Lord is a wonderful thing but something about this..well I just don’t know.
RE: How much money did it make for Osteen? That’s all he cares about.
From the Apostle Paul:
“15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,” (PHILIPPIANS 1:15-18)
Osteens church was not the first church his Sunday events were held. He was in Detroit a few weeks ago to much less fanfare and at a prison as well. I believe he is in Canada next week. I am not a fan of Joel Osteen but I thank God that his church was available for such an event. Kanye is reaching a generation that is in desperate need of Jesus as older generations have failed to reach them.
RE: I don’t know about you but something about this makes me uneasy.
While I can understand the sentiment, all I can say is this is a man to be prayed for and his good work encouraged and supported, not mocked.
Let’s just pray that this is not a one off emotional thing, but will have staying power.
Amen to that.
I’m not talking about Kanye, good for him. I’m talking about Osteen and his ‘prosperity gospel’. Yeah, prosperity for him.
Very interesting turn. Still unsure if I like The Kardashians and was not a fan of Kanye. But fascinating twist.
I am just pondering whether all the prayers for our President are working in unexpected ways. God has a way of doing the unexpected. Kanye is a famous man, a black man, and a Donald Trump supporter. Is this a sign from God and his Son, Jesus Christ, that our prayers are being answered?
Two consequences of prayer could be both the awakening to Christ within the inner city black community, plus the moving of the black vote toward a more conservative, God-fearing political view. Just a thought.
Who would have or could have imagined such a thing happening?
Read what Paul says in Philipians 1:15-18.
Kim is Armenian Orthodox and has had her children baptized into the church while in Armenia.
Precisely! Thank you for the reference.
