Transcript of Joel Osteen's prayer over Houston Mayor, Annise Parker, who was inaugurated as mayor of Houston. She is the first openly gay mayor of the city:
FATHER, THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME TO COME TOGETHER WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO CELEBRATE YOUR GOODNESS AND THE GREAT CITY WE LIVE IN, AND THE NEW LEADERSHIP WITHIN OUR CITY. LORD, WE ASK YOU FOR WISDOM FOR ALL OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. LORD, WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL GUIDE THEM, DIRECT THEM, THAT YOU WILL HELP THEM MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR OUR CITY. LORD WE JUST PRAY FOR YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR PROTECTION AROUND THEM AND YOUR FAMILIES. WE ASK THAT YOU KEEP THEM STRONG AND HEALTHY. LORD, WE JUST THANK YOU THAT WE HAVE A GREAT CITY AND WE BELIEVE OUR CITY CAN EVEN BE BRIGHTER. WE CAN HELP PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. LORD, WE COMMIT THIS DAY INTO YOUR HANDS AND WE ASK THAT EVERYTHING WE DO WILL BRING HONOR TO YOU. Lord WE JUST LIFT UP ESPECIALLY MAYOR ANNISE PARKER. LORD, WE THANK YOU JUST FOR RAISING HER UP AND FOR YOUR GOODNESS AND MERCY IN HER LIFE AND JUST SUPERNATURAL WISDOM FATHER. WE HONOR HER TODAY AND OUR OTHER OFFICIALS, AND WE COUNT IT A JOY AND AN HONOR TO BE HERE IN YOUR PRESENCE WITH ALL OUR FRIENDS. WE JUST THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN

This is sad that he capitulated and gave it a blessing it did not deserve.
He’s right in some sermons, the gospel deserves optimism, not the oh-woe-is-me approach.
But you can’t make a god out of optimism either. That god will tell you to do whatever feels good.

What in the world are you talking about? They should continue to preach the Word, just as they have been. They should not turn transcripts of their sermons over to Houston to be vetted or censored. Government has no place in in the Church.

I’m assuming the Texas militia is standing guard for these folks?

I thought that there would be something worse than just this, to see the brouhaha... it’s just a generic prayer.

Who says they would accept a millimeter of vetting or censoring? YOU are saying that! Not I!
They said give us gospel. Well they ought to get it. Till they get the message or till they are provoked to their own judgment.

That is why they want the sermons turned over, not so they can read them for enlightenment. According to our Constitution, they are not entitled to have them for their purposes.

The Constitution must yield to the bible.
Who cares what the stated reason. Who cares why the king wanted to see John the Baptist. The message is the same.
Do not “deny the power thereof.”

Joel has never preached the gospel of the Kingdom.

I’m not sure he ever said that, of course it is entertaining when strawmen get tossed around till the air is full of chaff.

Just the heckling from outside agitators like you is all the assurance I require.

Im not sure he ever said that, of course I'm talking about the prosperity gospel preachers in general.
Are you a Joel Osteen fan?
