He’s kind of a modern-day update of Norman Vincent Peale “Power of Positive Thinking”. He generally gives good advice on how to live your life with a positive attitude, but I don’t view his talks as particularly religous in nature. On the whole, I’d rather my kids listen to him than go to a Metallica concert, but it’s not really a substitute for going to church.

I’ve noticed pastors now getting into spiritual financial counseling. Definitely looks like a “for profit” venture and cause for concern.

Robert Schuller (an ordained Calvinist, by the way), took over Peale’s feelgood schtick. It appears that since Schuller Jr. is unworthy, then Osteen appears to have earned that post.
