Matthew 7:15
A Tree and Its Fruit
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
Sounds like judging to me.
“PROPHETS” is the key word here. Osteen is a Pastor, who encourages others to be their best and expect the best. I think most Pastors want to help their congregation have the best Christian life possible. All make mistakes...
I am not in his congregation however I have respect for anyone who is trying to save souls. By the way, how many souls have you actually led to the Lord in your lifetime? Have you reached the hundred fold yet?
I have served God and prayed with many to accept Christ, in places you would never think....the church is for Christians to learn, and grow and yes some come to the altar for Salvation. Most never set foot into a church until their conversion. Jesus said “Go Ye into All the World...” I’ll take a positive loving attitude any day of the week, when it comes to men claiming to serve God.
The Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years because of their murmuring and complaining (look it up)....and missed the promise land. The next generation entered. Let us quit complaining about Pastors and those who love God and are doing their best to serve him.
