Osteen’s church is not like my church, for sure. The people at my church would have been out there rescuing people and certainly, opening up the church as a place of refuge. Isn’t Osteen’s ministry a legacy which occurred when his Dad died? I do not know much about him because his “prosperity” message never resounded with me. Jesus said, “Take up your cross and follow me.” That cross is not emblematic of living in a 10.5 million dollar mansion with all the celebrity trappings you can think of.
My church would have been planning relief work for a good week ahead of time.
They would have laid in supplies and had people at the church riding out the storm waiting for people who need help.
And I know it’s not the only church out there in the Syracuse area which would be doing that.
And NONE of them are anywhere near that big.
