That is really this pastors house? On the one hand I suppose religion is in some ways subject to free market rules and on the other why isn’t this taxable again? Maybe I’m mistaken and it is. I’d likely follow this man as an apprentice more than a believer in him.
Yes. 24 hours to decontaminate and dry cat 3 water, miraculous if accurate.
>> the House of God
Correct, and not the house of political expediency.
Not crazy about Osteen, but I’m not gonna rely on opportunistic Christian haters in the media to define emergency shelter logistics.
This guy gives charlatans a bad name. He’s a greedy money sucking fraud.
dork par excellence
But,you can still be the best,you can be!!
There are other threads on this, and even GOP, Trump Supporters condemning Osteen for NO VALID REASON! Lakewood Church is and was a distribution center for SHELTERS IN HOUSTON, BEFORE opening as a shelter, GEEZ, I don’t get how common sense people jump to evil conclusions before the facts are out!

Joel Osteen Church had some flooding, and the roads to it, including Interstate was flooded, so getting to it was issue. Osteen issued statement that he would open Lakewood Church to victims, once Shelters were full. I saw on Twitter, that Mosques had opened doors to victims, however not a verified tweet.
OSTEEN CHURCH were removing things to lay down air mattresses, BEFORE OPENING DOORS to victims, NOW THAT MAKES SENSE! there WERE ONLY LESS THAN 300 in shelters on news last night???? So what is all LEFT HOOPLA about Osteen opening his church?? IT IS JUST EXCUSE TO ATTACK TRUMP SUPPORTER, THAT’S IT! AN EXCUSE TO WHINE ABOUT RIGHT!
AMERICANS need to ‘consider the source’ of all these fake accusations and NONSENSE COMMITS using emotions to get people to stop listening to GODLY MESSAGES..PERIOD! The microwave mentality of I have to know or have it in 32 seconds it killing a nation! Osteen blocked some JACKASSES on Twitter, as he knew what he was working on, and did not have time for left insanity!
Lately, FR and other GOP sites are being just as impatient as left...GEE WHIZ, HASTE MAKES WASTE SAYS BIBLE! If shelters aren’t full, then what is all whining about??
The very few times I’ve been able to force myself to listen to Joel Osteen, it seems the message he delivers is, “If you just believe in Him, God will make you rich”. Pretty much to the exclusion of any other Christian teachings. Just my take on his teachings.
Well said!
Welll yes....seems ok to me.
I have.
We vacationed on Nags Head in July. I think the storm is heading that way.
I’m not a fan of Oprah by any means. A person showing up on her show does not make that person some evil entity.
The pics of air mattresses installed for victims was on TV. Obviously the furniture removed for that took at least 1 day!
AND since the people who go to his church reside in Houston too, it makes sense they would need time to deal with their own situation (floods), before getting to church to volunteer! Those ushers aren’t on 24/7 volunteer service! I find the understanding of even normal people very impatient and sad.
How does a person NOT understand it takes quite a lot of time to get to a church cut off by flooding on interstates and other roads, even if it isn’t totally flooded itself! That was case with Lakewood Church!
Geez, it boggles the mind how quick people look for negative comments about a fellow Christian in a disaster, especially a Pastor. The extent of flooding was not going to be known until it happened!
and another one off africa.
It’s cause you either like him or think he is a scammer. people don’t like scammers. I don’t pretend to know who Joel Olsteen is either way. Just my observations.
All one has to do is look at the WIND MAP and one can see there are WIND VORTICES all over the planet MOST OF THE TIME.
No, because the 'vortex' moved away from the coast and out to sea. Here, look for yourself. There are FOUR WIND VORTICES now off the COAST of the US.
