The obvious coment is that the main-stream, or main-line churches have all failed miserably at quenching the thirst that people have for a creditable message of faith..OTOH, I'd rather have this guy put his whole family on the payroll, as compared to what ECUSA does with its Diocesan pledeg here in NY.
It is sad if this phenomenal church growth is because people are drawn to a pastor that refuses to rebuke sin.

An additional point is that Osteen refrains from hammering his congregation with his political opinions. Nothing turns me off like going to church and having the pastor assume I'm a liberal Democrat.
