Also in STARK CONTRAST to the life being led by the Flea Market Preacher (see my previous post). The Flea Market Preacher is the REAL DEAL. I know since I saw the conditions he lives in, namely his beat up station wagon where he stores his flea market goods plus where he sleeps. Also the Flea Market Preacher is the dishevelled opposite of Joel Osteen. Maybe Osteen should travel around the country with the Flea Market Preacher selling stuff at flea markets on Saturdays and working as an itinerate preacher on Sundays to learn a little humility.
Why, what does living in poverty have to do with anything? I don't think Osteen should be taking people's offerings for his vacations, but he makes millions selling books which is his money. One major difference between the two is how many souls do they reach. Osteen reaches millions. In the body of Christ, it takes all kinds.
