I’ve relied on this devotional almost every day. It is very encouraging.

There are so many angry religious folks out there who seem to hate those who preach encouragement in the gospel of the grace and hope of Jesus Christ. They want law-based preaching. That’s fine. But that’s no reason to constantly persecute those who preach grace, which is the heart of the gospel.

We who adhere to grace instead of the law for our continued salvation and victory are either in the minority or we are part of the “silent majority” neither of which determines what is really the truth of the gospel.

Jim, I hope you don’t discourage these Joel Osteen devotionals. I have personally found them to be effective and encouraging on a daily basis and I know it has been for others as well.

Why not just sign up for his daily devotional emails then?

Or get them off his website.

FR can’t possibly be the only place to find them.

Osteen doesn’t preach grace. He preaches a prosperity gospel using scripture in a corrupted manner.
