Joel Osteen might be focused on positivity and prosperity, but folks coming to hear his sermon on Sunday had to drive to Lakewood Church seeing some pretty negative signs. Members of the Westboro Baptist church were seen along the roads to the church and the signs they were waving at the drivers were very inflammatory. According to KHOU on Sunday, the Westboro Baptist church members shouted their message through bullhorns surprising the congregation members who call Lakewood Church their home.

It was about Houston, but the Westboro bunch clearly didn’t do their homework this time.

It is interesting that the mayor of Houston didn’t go after Osteen, but Westboro did.

The mayor knew there wouldn’t be anything condemnatory in an Osteen peptalk.

Not a huge fan of Osteen but Westboro Baptist Church is nothing but a bunch of lawyers who are all related whose mission it is to destroy the public perception of Christians.
Osteen will not take the bait. He will pray for them and invite them into his services.

Maybe Joel should ask his buddy, the Houston mayor to shut down the Westboro protest.
