I attempted to listen to one of Osteen’s broadcasts once, and I got through about a half of a sermon.
I did not hear Father/Son/Holy Spirit mentioned even once, and moreover, I just didn’t follow it. I’m not a dumb man, and maybe Osteen was off that day or something, but I just couldn’t follow it. It was built around motivational themes similar to what one might get at a Zig Ziglar convention, but there was no thread holding it together that day, so it came across as a series of quotes and platitudes held together by the previous series of the same.
FWIW, that particular day Osteen didn’t hit a single....much less a home run. As a public speaker, I know that happens, but couple that with the no mention of the divine, and I wondered what was going on.
Well, if you read parts of the Bible, you may not read Father/Son/Holy Spirit either (like Esther for instance). Try listening to an entire sermon sometime, including the weekly prayer call and alter call and comments before and after worship. You'll hear a lot about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and good Bible-based teaching.
FYI, I used to think he was a motivational speaker who smiled all the time. But one day, it was like invisible hands from Heaven took Joel and Victoria and planted them right in front of me and said, "Here, these are for you - listen to them." Since then I've plugged into Lakewood Church and read all his books and my life has changed for the better. You're talking to a committed, spirit-filled, fairly mature Christian who's been a believer for 40+ years - no babe in Christ.
Hey, Osteen's not for everyone, God puts different people in different places according to His will. But if you're ever interested, try reading one one his books sometime - ask the Lord to wipe the slate clean of preconceptions and just receive if He has anything for you. I think you'll be in for a surprise.
