Re: K. Gurley: On Lakewood, Osteen in Houston
Two comments,
I went to college with Joel's sister, and John's daughter.
John Osteen was baptised in Jesus' name and claimed a knowledge of the oneness of God. He was an excellent preacher. He had a weak heart for years and lived every day by faith. His wife Dodie was healed of terminal cancer--still alive for all you AFF doubters. John had a reputation of integrity and love for all people, still taught living a holy life.
I have a very good friend who manages a very well known singing group. Dodie is a big fan. They visit Lakewood and sing every year. My friend told me that Joel and his wife and Dodie are always gracious and perfect hosts. They have eaten together after the services and are received in the "green room" before church. My friend told me Lakewood has a production each week that can stand toe to toe with anything that Nashville has produced.
Persoanlly, Joel's preaching does nothing for me...I would like for him to present repentance, etc. But if he is helping somebody...........
