The Bible is clear “the love of money is the root of all evil”...that love of money is called greed. Joel Osteen is a great encourager of the positive and I like him a lot. Money in and of itself is not evil, just the greed of it. Osteen is promoting a positive outlook and encouraging his people to look to God as their source, and that is Biblical!
God says in many places that he will ‘meet all of your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus’, and he also says ‘be it to you according to your faith’. God also says if you use a talent it will develop into ten more, etc....learn what the Bible says and quit going off half-cocked like a demonic nutcase.
Now, if you want a pessimistic outlook the devil will be happy to accommodate you...in fact, you are promoting that pessimistic outlook that life is ‘woe is me’, and God will not bless you, BULLCRAP.
And as for Mrs. Osteen, we all have faults and the Bible says “no one is without sin” (paraphrased). Of course the damning evil ones will always condemn the Christian for having a bad day or losing their temper. GET A LIFE...you obviously have never read the Bible. God has already forgiven her, but obviously you can’t and isn’t that the way with all self-righteous idiots.
As for CONDEMNERS...YOU ARE THE WORST, at least Joel Osteen uplifts his congregation, and watchers....I do hold issue with some televangelists, but not an encourager who is helping many to look up ‘our salvation draws nigh’. God is looking for happy givers not whiners and complainers...in fact, the Israelites did NOT enter the Promise Land, because of their WHINING AND COMPLAINING! That’s the message Osteen is trying to get across, but you are looking for something to complain about, too bad for you and no wonder you are so unhappy about everyone who doesn’t meet your perverted view of Christianity.
You don’t mind if I just do not like the man do you? I have listened to him and there is just something that I find about him that causes me to avoid him.

Sure he uplifts them.
They don’t hear about sin and the Christ’s shed blood.
Instead he is a Peid Piper of fluff.
Satan rejoiced when Osteen denied Jesus on national TV and he rejoices when a poor lost soul forks over money for a “spiritual” book than fails to clearly lay out redemption through Jesus.
