Do you know ANYTHING about Joel Osteen, his background, and how he got where he is now? Have you EVER actually watched one of his worship services?

Boy a lot of the religious FReepers here are a lot like the Leftists - it’s BAD to be rich and successful (unless you’re one of them).

Yet God talks all about being PROSPEROUS and having GOOD SUCCESS (Joshua 1:8; 3 John 2).

Sadness.

Trolls? here? On Freepers? Huh!!

You need to read the other comments, that is if you’re truly open to truth as you seem to claim ....

*eye roll* Maybe, but God is not a slot machine where prayers and $$$ are put in and goodies/answers to prayers pop out.

I think you misunderstand. Prosperity isn’t the problem. Serving God in order to prosper is the problem. Believing that your purpose on earth is to prosper is the problem.

Do you know ANYTHING about Joel Osteen..

God in human flesh aka Jesus talks about denying self, taking up one's cross, and following Him. Read Mark 8:31-38.
