Televangelist Joel Osteen cancelled services at his Houston megachurch Sunday and has yet to reopen its doors despite the fact that thousands of flooded-out residents are desperately seeking shelter.
The perpetually smiling pastor told followers on Twitter on Monday to lean on their faith.
Jesus promises us peace that passes understanding, he wrote. Thats peace when it doesnt make sense.
But Osteens comforting words didnt sit well with critics, who want to know why the doors to his 16,800-seat arena at his Lakewood Church near downtown Houston are closed.
You have taken so much money away from your people to live like a king, entertainment publicist Danny Deraney blasted. Its the least you could do.

This should clarify any confusion as what Joel Olsteen and his ilk really. The very being we as Christian attempt to emulate is Jesus but how many would be in the pulpit if they were living like Jesus?
Matthew 8:20
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
That face looks like a mark. Is it real? Is it Satan behind there posing as a Christian? You know Satan’s plan is to deceive and what better way than to pose as a preacher, albeit a phony and a fraud like Osteen.
I cant believe there is a freeper (I think named Vision IIRC) that posts daily Joel Osteen threads and has the mods in his back pocket as you cant even come to the thread to speak the truth about Osteen being a fraud.
I’m not so sure about the Mods/back pocket thing. It was Vision, but he got 100% hammered on one of his last: ‘Osteen is so great’ threads by about 30 different FReepers! (About 8 months ago iirc). It was so bigly of a bombing the that the mods told him no more osteen threads!!!! I have not seen one thread started by vision on the charlatan osteen on the ‘everything’ threads since!
Thanks for the heads up. I did some searching and it was New Years Day 2015 when Jim Robinson put a stop to those daily devotions. Once I read his post in the thread I knew it was over. It was a long time coming and I never understood why there was a “no debate” policy for just those specific threads (I’ve never seen another one like that) I wonder what Vision thinks of his hero now?
