YBPDLN* Ping List Ping!

The YBPDLN Ping List is generally published infrequently, but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

Because 18,000 People Can’t be wrong!

Great article about those “mega-pastors” who want to create people who are “narcissistic, biblically illiterate, and theologically confused.” LOL

4) Keep the Right Perspective

Does this section include the "right perspective" for Mrs. Osteen's temper tantrum in first class on a flight to Aspen that got her kicked off the plane? How dare they make her late to the ski slopes?

Like most mega-churches, this one is a sham that dupes well-intentioned people into donating to support the minister's affluent lifestyle.

It's fleecing the flock in the name of God.

Smile. Just smile, regardless how ridiculous you seem, just keep smiling.

"In Break Out!, God is not glorious in majesty; he is your personal genie and your voice inside. The real power belongs to you. When you speak, things happen. When you believe, things come true."

Which is exactly the way half the Independent churches in this country present the doctrine of "Faith Alone", not really anything all that different.

Where are all the Joel Osteen apologists at? The poster who posts the daily Osteen email does not want debate on his posts. I guess that bunch likes the prosperity/feel good gospel but not enough to debate it.

. “God did not create you to be average….He created you to do something amazing."

Only amazing? Not awesome or unbelievable?

When I think of a saint, I think of Fr. Damien who went to live with the Hawaiian lepers, caring for them, burying them and eventually dying with them.

Joel Osteen doesn’t immediately come to mind.
