Joel Osteen promotes the warrior mentality
Christianity Today ^ | 26 February 2015 | Czarina Ong

Popular American evangelist Joel Osteen is promoting the warrior mentality among Christians, telling them not to be weighed down by their problems because all things are possible with Christ.

"If you'll have this warrior mentality and do what you can do, God will help you do what you cannot do. Remember, God has armed you with strength for every battle. Keep praying, keep believing, keep pressing through because with God, you will tap into strength you didn't know you had!" he said.

Warrior? Who is Joel fighting against? He never speaks of evil when it is everywhere and especially in the government.

“And make sure that all you can do includes donations to Joel Osteen Ministries and buy some of my books.”

“American Christianity is soft and flabby. There is no way we could stand up to ISIS like those brave souls are doing in Egypt.”

American Christians have guns. If ISIS/L or LGBTLMNOQ or United Blue Helmets, or whatever attacks here, killing American Christians will cost heavy casualties.

There are, however, very few American Christians. Church rolls are mostly made up of CINOs, and, yes, they are soft and flabby.

We need to be instrumental for revival. If we get ‘em sitting in the pews, they are at least having a chance to here the truth.

Some won’t be able to, others will. But it is in our weakness that Christ is strong. So daily prayer, reading the word of God and obedience to it will go a long way in preparing us for this type of evil in our midst. It’s coming.

Well nothing says warrior like jumping up and down on a trampoline behind your $10,000,000 house!

Or pitching a hissy fit in first class and being kicked off the plane (And yes Vicky won the lawsuit, but she still paid a fine to the FAA.)

**God will help you do what you cannot do.**

But he will not force you to do what you will not do.

There is no way we could stand up to ISIS like those brave souls are doing in Egypt.

I don't think those Egyptians had a choice. Most Americans are removed from harm, for the moment, and people lose focus on God when they are comfortable. Just wait until the crap hits the fan.
