It is sad if this phenomenal church growth is because people are drawn to a pastor that refuses to rebuke sin.

Well maybe sad.... but if'n you want hell fire and damnation, speaking in tongues, shouting in the aisles, etc then don't go to Lakewood.... or that is my observation from what little I've seen of the message on tv. Pastor Osteen sends a feel good message which helps motivate people in their daily lives or so it seems to me that is what he's doing. Maybe some of it helps the attendees to be better people in their lives at home, at work and in the public... who knows.
