Numbers 11:23, and the LORD said to Moses, “is the LORD’s hand shortened? Now you shall see whether my word will come true for you or not. (ESV)
This passage comes from when the Israelites were complaining that they wanted meat to eat, and God gave it to them for a whole month, quail...they got sick of it. God said that He would give them so much meat that they would not want any more.
Amen CyberAnt.
I'm sorry to hear about the losses in your family. Somehow, if we stay in faith and his peace, as Joel and Joseph Price constantly encourage and exhort, we come out better than we were before because this has also happened to me.
God bless.
LOL. Actually, the late Reggie White of Green Bay Packer fame (aka, “the Minister of Defense”), was one heck of a pastor.
K.J.V. says, until it comes out their noses. I like that better.
Pretty sure it's the same guy. It even says "Rodgers" on the back of his shirt.
Gets tiresome and boring doesn't it?

Couldn't find any pictures of Reggie but I think this is his sister.
I don’t think so. :)
Before joining these condemning folks in this heinous character assaination and accusations hurled at Joel like the rocks the Pharisees of old threw, maybe you should do a little checking first because your comments make it pretty obvious you haven't done that.
Did you know you can watch the whole Lakewood service streaming live online Saturday nights and Sunday mornings? You would find out, among other things, that THREE TIMES PER SERVICE, Joel prays the prayer with those who want to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
that is Vanna White. She is his sister from another mother. But wait Reggie White was black. It was sad when he died because of Obstructive sleep apnea
You know, I had never even heard of the guy until about four weeks ago when I started seeing an increase in this type of post on FR. I even had to ask someone who he was and a number of people were flabbergasted I didn't know.
I've been looking at these threads just to kind of watch the piling on that takes place. I've never seen his ministry or television or anything and I'm not inclined to as I'm quite involved in my own church.
But I guess, if the guy is an apostate or something, why not just ignore him? What's the fascination with all the posts about him?
AMEN DITTOS!
My family had been in dire financial straits along with other problems. We were losing our home because of taxes and maintenence on a hundred year old building.
I ignored the Guidance of The Lord...wanted to stay in my family’s home thinking our kids needed to grow up in the same community as me and mrs p6.
I thought I knew better.
After decades of resisting The Lord we gave up.
We put ourselves in The Lords Hands.
We did lose the house BUT it was an OLD house that was draining our resources. We stayed until all the kids graduated. At that point we started looking for another home.
We wanted to be close to our kids and miraculously a place became available only a few blocks away. It was an apartment but bigger and way newer than our old house. It had more space, a better kitchen, and even an integral garage and space for a workshop.
Oh and the neighbors are much more like us!
The cost is LESS than paying the taxes on the old house...WAY LESS.
Financially we actually made out on the deal.
We moved 5 years ago and never looked back. We are much better off, happier, and can do things we never dreamed possible.
Our kids and grand kids are within walking distance. Our bills are a fraction of what there were.
Our prayers were answered.
THANK YOU LORD!
We -— I -— should have listened long ago.
Character Assassination - not a chance. Joel Osteen is free to be criticized. Just because he leads many to Christ does not make him exempt. Which Christ is he leading them to? The apostle Paul wrote that many lead to something other than Christ crucified. Joel’s christ is money. His style of leadership some question as a false preacher whom leads some astray. But I know I will get criticized by some that Joel Osteen is a false preacher
Now I'm all confused.
Is exposing a false teacher now called bashing?
I’ve tried several times to watch Joel but I have a hard time connecting to his feel good messages. I rarely see him refer to his Bible (what ever version it is). But if he is an ordained pastor and I assume him to be he should know his Bible and speak as a mouthpiece for God not himself. There are plenty of wolf’s in Sheep’s clothing doing the work of Satan from the Pulpit.
LOL!
THREE TIMES PER SERVICE, Joel prays the prayer with those who want to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Yes! It’s my favorite part!
