Olsteen is a “name it and claim it” apostate.
He is using Kanye.
So far, so good for Kanye now.
He has not yet said enough to upset the left.
Let’s see if he takes a true Biblicacal stand on something like marriage.
Could be the other way around.
That picture of Osteen is downright awful
It looks like he’s wearing a mask and such an evil grin......
Creepy.....
I agree with you.
Something about this whole thing unsettles me.
No doubt, there will be people who are genuinely saved, and that will be a good thing.
And maybe, just maybe, this can be the seeds of a real revival.
Either way, he REALLY needs our prayers.
Kanye and his group were at the Harris County lock up on Friday.
I find the stories of how Joel Osteen somehow became a pastor interesting. What an unlikely thing to happen!
And the stories of how the church acquired the former Compaq Center to become their sanctuary? Very interesting...
Story after story of where all of the people, skill and money came from in those critical moments for all of that to happen, along with Joel giving constant praise, credit and glory to God for it, is also very interesting,
And, of course, Osteen takes everyone back to the beginning, his dads giving his life to Christ, followed by all of the small and large steps in between his fathers conversion to Christ years ago to what his feed store church has become today...
...so this event could take place and reach so many...
WoW!
Looks like God directed steps to me and ALL of it is fascinatingly interesting!
His Hand is there every step, as near as I can tell, and I appreciate Joel Osteen for sharing this with me. Hes good at that.
Interesting how God works... and through whom He works... and then who gets upset about it and why! Just like in the Bible!
So, its all exactly like what Mother Mary said and ust do what He tells you, then keep calm and press on ...
And then be amazed by how He works!
“I hope this is a pathway to true faith for many.”
Agree. That’s the #1 priority here.
The #2 priority here is that they’ll all be Trump voters.
Yep. We need to rejoice. I’m not a Catholic but if Kanye had his event at St. Patrick’s Cathedral I would be praising God just as loudly.
My #2 priority would be that their faith would be manifested in virtuous family and community lives.
In particular, I believe Mr. West will help many younger people to find Christ.
This is wonderful because they, (the young), are being bombarded, (at school, college, movies, music, exc..), by the forces of darkness, who are trying to get them to reject Christ and lose their souls.
God bless Kanye West! Keep up the good work👍.
Amen!
He always looked to me like he could sell a used car to a used car salesman.
Right! I finally figured that out. Thats the point of everything!
Osteen s value is not teaching the Bible and hes probably one of the first to tell you that.
And I agree. I look for that education elsewhere. Seems like were living in a world of specialists these days, whether its for doctors, home repairs or coming to Jesus.
To me, Osteens value, and perhaps his real purpose for being here, are his praising God examples and talking about how and why to start that conversation.
And for me now even more, I like his examples for maintaining that conversation with Him about all things all the time.
Baby steps ... Im taking em.
Let the critics laugh and throw whatever theyve got, but perhaps they know not what they do.
Mat 13:47-50:
Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Kanye and Osteen are just throwing the net. God will pick out his own. That’s his business.
“My #2 priority would be that their faith would be manifested in virtuous family and community lives.”
Ideally.
Impressive! The may the Sowers seeds fall into good soil!
(Doing too many things at the same time....for me, that trick never works.)
Just what the Holy Spirit needs to REALLY get the ‘message’ out....a real honest to goodness SUPERSTAR. We can really get the show going now!!
Boy, we should feel lucky.
