Certainly I cannot know for sure, but it does bother me that his messages don't seem to emphasize repentance. It causes me concern that someone may "come to Christ" for what they might get from Him material-wise, without the repentance and surrendering of themselves that Jesus expresses is vital to believing on Him. What if, by not getting the full message, they are missing out on who Christ is and what He is about and therefore not really being saved at all? False doctrine (like Osteen's claim that the death on the cross was not sufficient by itself) can mislead people - the Bible says so.

I agree with what you say.

Christians will learn that the narrow road is narrower than they think.

A pastor should lead people to recognize their sinful nature and repent from it. God has laid out his plan over and over for us.

LAW, JUSTICE, REPENTENCE, GRACE

Sin can not enter heaven, Jesus has sacrificed himself for your **prosperity** (I THINK NOT). Jesus has sacrificed himself because the wages of sin are death.
His death is your grace.
Treating Gods grace as our ticket to treasures on earth does not seem right.
