Right it is missing that old hard, guilt ridden, scare the hell out of you preaching. "

"Come to Me, and I will give you rest, take my yoke upon you, My yoke is easy and My burden is light," said Jesus.

When...... if ever......... will the one's with so much judgement, because it's not their way or their organization or their specific doctrine, learn and read the Word of God (there are more scriptural truths than Acts 2:39)and realize that other people are truly doing a work for God different than the way (the judgers) thought and think it has to be. Do you really realize how many people have been brought to Jesus Christ through the ministry of Lakewood and Joel Osteen. Do you stop and think about how many people have been touched by that "SOft Gospel" but then brought into deeper gosple and a relationship with GOD.... Oh and by the way, extravagence in lifestyle..... how about that 6000 square foot house that was for Jean Urshan and her caregiver, and about the other Preachers who always had large better houses than anyone in their church, who took all the tithes and answered to noone for it, who had absolutley no accountability to anyone.....but they weren't TV preachers so I guess that made it alright........Get some sense people and stop your sinning........because when you are gossipping and criticizing and judgeing your brother...You Are Sinning.....

Makes you wonder if this new Osteen story has been put out by his publicist. Perhaps to avoid a Senate inquiry?

Daniel, you don't even know the man...just going by what you hear and read..
Oh and by the way, you say you are the most Apostolic.....Well if my memory serves me correctly, in the apostolic movement, a Apostolic would never be seen or photographed in a pair of shorts or a swimsuit, and certainly would not put up the picture for everyone to see.....
