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.

I wonder if the Muslims opened their doors to their mosques?
Donna Gilreath he does NOT take a salary from the church. He made his millions selling his books.
……so being a Pastor is just a FRONT to his real agenda???
Anti God sermons??………..please.
you know they didn’t .
Where are you going to sleep…….it’s nothing but rows and rows of fixed seats……..to me it would be a terrible place for people to stay any length of time. Food would have to be brought in, are there enough bathrooms, no place to take a shower……..it would be a LAST resort I would think.
Stop criticizing him. You weren’t there. There were many factors he had to consider. Sleeping space ( there are thousands of seats) , food availability, bathrooms , liability matters, they said the lower level was flooded as well as his home. I don’t like the guy but he is not a demon. One report also said that for a while the streets leading to this place were not passable due to deep water……..it’s easy to sit back and say shoulda, coulda, woulda……..but unless you ( or I) were there we cannot say anything . The news media twists so much that we don’t even know what’s true anymore. Pictures are VERY deceiving. Just like the one with Obama supposedly serving food in Houston…….that photo was totally f**e. It was from 2 years ago in DC during Thanksgiving….. I don’t believe much on FB anymore.
Atheist on board.
Again, as long as he takes it from the BIBLE, he is relaying the correct message to you, so they arent anti God sermons weirdo, its written. I bet you read Batman
Yep
