Joel Osteen 1

This guy scares me. He is a used car salesmen. I saw an interview with him one time and he was asked why he rarely mentions Jesus and he more or less said, people were tired of hearing old stories and wanted to hear about things relevant today. Since when does a true Christian find the teachings of the Bible out of date? I was offended and I knew then to watch out for this guy. He, as someone as already said, is a great motivational speaker but I have a feeling if you follow this guy you may be in for a rude awakening.

I understand your concerns. I too have some concerns with Joel but I guess I look at his preaching differently than most. One thing for sure is you can not leave Christ out of the equation. I believe Joel does preach the Word (Bible) but his approach is often the object of much criticism. God bless!
