the truth is this minister is probably doing more good than the rest of us put together.

Maybe...but the image of a wealthy preacher skiing in Vail and traveling first-class is in stark contrast to the life that Christ led. God uses many messengers, I hope the right message is being brought forth by the Osteens.

As for me, give me the loving companionship of my fellow believers in FreeRepublic. Our church has no walls and no tithes, yet the love, support and work done here is amazing.

no tithes


What! You don't support FR? ;)

Also in STARK CONTRAST to the life being led by the Flea Market Preacher (see my previous post). The Flea Market Preacher is the REAL DEAL. I know since I saw the conditions he lives in, namely his beat up station wagon where he stores his flea market goods plus where he sleeps. Also the Flea Market Preacher is the dishevelled opposite of Joel Osteen. Maybe Osteen should travel around the country with the Flea Market Preacher selling stuff at flea markets on Saturdays and working as an itinerate preacher on Sundays to learn a little humility.
