Again, Gamecock, your flat assertions & conclusions with no support or evidence proves nothing.
Those that blindly follow such unproven conclusions are, as Jesus said, in danger of falling into the ditch.
Go back and learn what the ministry of encouragement is. It is a valid and important ministry in the Body of Christ. God, not you, decides what kind of gift, anointing, and ministry someone has. Your contempt for and discount of Joel’s encouragement ministry doesn’t invalidate it
Watching Osteen is proof enough.
His insipid nonsense is garbage.
Send his books to the Saints in Iraq and see what response you would get.
I have worshipped in churches throughout Africa, to include Liberia. His message would be taken as heresy there. They know more about real Christian faith there than Osteen ever will.
His so called ministry is for itching ears.
You need more lessons in how to encourage people.
You’ve done nothing but shred those who speak out against what they see as the false gospel Osteen preaches.
Mote.... beam.....
The proof is in the pudding.
He doesn’t preach God’s word.
Watch with discerning eyes and you will see that.
