I watch Joel Osteen every Sunday morning at 8am before heading out to church with my family.

As a Christian, I see Joel as a great messenger to open someone’s heart to Christ. Not one unsaved person I know wants to be a “miserable, poor and unhappy Christian”. Joel shows that you can be a happy and prosperous Christian as long as you give God all of the credit.

Joel Osteen closes every show with an alter call and instructions to join a Bible-based church. If he has saved souls with his method, then I don’t see how any Christian can find fault with it.

God uses everyone and everything to His purpose and we will not always understand with His Way of doing things - but we know that it is the right way.

To the ones on this thread criticising Joel, I ask that you tune in on Sunday morning and actually watch before jumping on the “beat the guy on our team” bandwagon.

If he has saved them then they ain't saved!

Preach that to those who turn to Christ in the moslem countries and China and see how far that gets you.
