I don’t know how he managed to speak in all caps or without paragraphs,
but he sure is a smarmy butt-kissing opportunistic snake-oil selling wanker.
I bet the production values were just fine though.
Joel Osteen does not preach true Christian doctrine and never has as far as I know.
Amen.
He teaches “I’m OK, you’re OK, and let’s put a big yellow happy face on that”.
Barf. This prayer is what he should have prayed.....
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to ask Your Forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘’Woe to those who call evil good,’’ but that’s exactly what we have done. We have lost our Spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values. We confess that; we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism; We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism; We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle; We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery; We have neglected the needy and called it self preservation; We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare; We have killed our unborn and called it choice; We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable; We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem; We have abused power and called it political savvy; We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition; We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression; We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of this state and who have been ordained by You, to govern this great state of Kansas. Grant them your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your Will.
I ask in in the name of your Son, The Living Savior, Jesus Christ
Excellent prayer!
Comment redacted
This prayer doesn’t require any real thought to say. That is the guess I have, he just went off the cuff saying sweet nothings as usual.
That don't sound good.
Amen!
Did she pay her $5.95 for the first three minutes?
WOW ..?????
But GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY .. is what he really prayed.
I guess you will pummel me too; I prayed for a young man who worked in my office who was dying of aids. He had been born again as a 7 yr old child. We prayed together, and he asked GOD for forgiveness.
Oh yeah, I knew he was close to the end, so I was praying for him everyday. One morning, I was at a prayer service at my church. While I was praying, I saw a vision of my friend, and he was wearing a white garment; he had a smile on his face and then a hand appeared on his shoulder, and he waved at me and then the vision was gone. When I arrived at work, I was greeted with the information that my friend had died. I had the joy of telling his parents what I had seen in my vision.
How do any of you know that she was not born again as a young girl, but life’s issues have led her astray.
I think all of your comments were very UN-Christian, while you’re complaining about what Joel said.
I knew that after listening to him for a very short time.
“How do any of you know that she was not born again as a young girl, but lifes issues have led her astray.”
She still needs to repent, and pretending she is already living a Godly life won’t encourage repentance.
