You MUST watch this video of Joel Osteen preaching at Lakewood Church in Houston. He not only twists Scriptures and the Gospel, but he misses every single point of orthodoxy in his preaching here. It is a short 3 minute clip.

I do not say this to bad-mouth Joel. However, I do say this because he is a heretic in sheep's clothing. He is a false teacher who seems to be preaching the gospel, but he is NOT preaching the biblical Gospel.

Acts 20:29-31 29 "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 "Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.

Titus 1:10-14 10 For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain. 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." 13 This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

May we be those who pray earnestly for Joel, his wife, Victoria, his family and his church -- that that they may realize the truth that we are NOT born healthy and "good" people. But that Jesus Christ has died and paid for all our sins so that by faith in Jesus Christ alone apart from works, we may be saved. May God be honored to bring the true biblical gospel to this man.
