I agree with what you said about not hearing about repentance from Osteen, I have never heard Rick Warren.
I call all of America to repent, turn away from homosexuality, and all other forms of sexual depravity practiced with abandon in America.
Thus says the Lord, (Rev 21:8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

How about lilly livered priests, and pastors who are afraid to preach about sin, that is what I believe the Scriptures are telling us here. PC has made multitudes of so called leaders afraid to confront people with their sin.

And:

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (homosexuals, catamites those who submit receptively to homosexuals)
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

In the last verse we see repentance applies to people who even were involved in these most degrading sins.

Repentence of sin is a gift from God and an essential outworking of redemption. Put another way, it is the cardinal sign of God’s mercy. You cannot have one without the other. No repentance, no mercy.
