Joel Osteen is under fire for taking so long to express a willingness to allow Hurricane Harvey victims to take shelter in Lakewood Church
And it very well may be that Lakewood Church just got new seat cushions and they were afraid of wasting church members money by giving wet homeless people a place to sit down.
Let’s give Joel Osteen a fair opportunity to explain himself, and his actions, or the lack thereof.
He did offer these words of comfort up as the winds, and flood waters started to ravage the streets of Houston.
There’s a simple phrase you have to get down in your spirit, “God’s got this.”

Maybe Osteen just thinks that people don’t have to work when God answers prayer. That is very similar to the “prosperity gospel” he preaches in his church.
But, people don’t really seem ready yet to let Osteen off the hook for failing to open up his church doors to people in need. This has created a real PR nightmare for Osteen and multi-million dollar church and book brand.
This PR crisis has forced Osteen to come out and make a statement, backtracking on ALL his earlier claims about God being enough to make all of this Hurricane victim business go away. His statement, the new official position of opening Church doors and more, all on the next page.

Shame !!!!!!
He wasn’t reluctant. There.was.problems around the area.
lol this guy is a f**e, fraud and all round POS… Look at the size of his bank account, true men of God give away the money and know it is evil, this guy hoards it………..then rubs it in your face…. I see a poor future for this Devil…
It’s just a Warehouse where the devil dwells !!
Maybe he had to examine the situation and get advise if the church was safe for people being that part of it had flooded.
To really get to the point of who owns this church and everything he has being longs to the people by the giving of ties and offerings. I’ll be damn if I’m gonna be paying ties an offering to pay for his property taxes on his multimillion dollar home. He is a smooth operator in using gullible people to fork out there hard earn money so he could live a rich lifestyle and use the name of GOD for his success. I can understand money is the root of all evil. You need to get your c**p together boy.
Yep. Always trying to make Christians look bad.
He’s a snake oil salesman. And he will continue to peddle his deluded translation of the Bible as long as people listen to his feel good, anti god sermons.
They sure do twist the truth.
B******t church was always open.
