"...Sounds like a great church!

One where Satan reigns and all sorts of idolatry is rampant..."

Yes, that's the one.

I used to live across the street from Joel Osteen's church. I went once. Ever since then I listen closely to what the preacher says, and ask myself if it is Bible-based.

I am critical and cynical.

So when I bag on my church, It is mostly against the new attendees, not the message, which is about par nowadays.

It just doesn't sit well when I see girls dressing overtly sexy on Sundays.

The “big name” preachers with Mega Churches all have one thing in common.

How often do they mention Jesus?

I went to Joel’s twitter account once and couldn’t find his name mentioned once. All I found was fortune cookie advice.

It’s a sad thought to see what our churches and their messages have become.

My church has it’s issues with women and their daughters dressing like they’re going to the Roxbury.

You must be one of them darned Berean type folks.

They don't get much praise on FR.
