Osteen is a motivational speaker he is NOT a pastor or preacher of the Bible!!
Yes he is an ordained minister, as well as a motivational speaker. He does not get into hellfire and brimstone sermons like many protestant preachers, which is probably why so many ministers don’t like his preaching style. He does preach hope and positive thinking as more related to God. As a Catholic, I’m not into his televangelist-style, preferring more private worship, but I’ve read a couple of his books and he does inspire hope in difficult times. And I’m certainly not going to criticize him or his church when someone evil came there with murder in mind. Thank God that things were not much worse...
