Title: When (Joel) Osteen becomes a Noun
Post by: loretta on March 07, 2014, 01:16:39 AM

A recent post claims that Houston preacher Joel Osteen is the prime provocateur of a seductive brand of Christianity that reduces God to a means to our ends.  Osteen transposes the glory of the cross to the glory of consumerism – making it a fast-food Christianity that’s long on looks but dreadfully short on substance.

Now Hank Hanegraaf, of CRI has released a book entitled, The OSTEENification of American Christianity.  He says that the moment truth is compromised like this, the covering that protects you and me from the devil’s schemes is lost. He claims that the book will help you steer clear of grave error, compromise, and deception.

Both are wrong.

I remember ole Hank. He likes to fancy himself as a truth bearer, especially with TBN crowd. He doesn't realize that he is Mystery Babylon the Great himself.  :P
