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.

Sheron Hilliker Edge…Olsteen should have thought of that before pulling his stunt. I guess he didn’t want his pretty church messed up. And he calls himself a man of God?
Take everything the thug has.
Ditto
Looks real DRY TO ME.
OPEN YOUR$#%&!@*CHURCH, Mr. MAN OF GOD.
In the first place it’s not his church
Come on he and his wife and their ghost writers for their books are on their private jet leaving their multi million dollar home to write a new book about seeing the light through tragedy. Just you watch. He isn’t in it for God, he is in it for the mighty dollar. Go ahead Joel say thank you daddy for this good lollipop
tell him to take a walk in the flooded freeway.
Easy way of becoming multi millionaire now aday seems to claim you are a child of God and open a non profit church.. Just like Olsteen. milking the poor to become super rich. See it all over my little town to
