Joel Osteen non judgemental
I’d like to talk about a particular pastor whom I think is a great inspirational speaker. The pastors’ name is Joel Osteen and he was on sixty minutes. He is getting condemned for not condemning others. Joel Osteen’s messages are uplifting and encouraging.
Many other pastors are saying negative things about Joel Osteen because he doesn’t bring correction to people’s lives, but I think people already know the wrong things they do and don’t need to be reminded of their wrong doings. Why not let God bring conviction to their hearts? After all people receive correction better when it comes to positive reinforcement, right?
I think Joel Osteen uses the positive approach because people are more receptive to it. Why do you think most people go to church? I know one of the main reasons why I would go to church would be for encouragement. I want to hear uplifting and encouraging things. We all need a release from negativity. We get discouraged and let down through out the work week. We get bogged down from our everyday activities.
I think Joel Osteen exemplifies the things that Jesus did when he walked the earth because Jesus taught us not to judge, so why are other pastors passing judgment on Joel Osteen? I think they are jealous of Joel Osteen’s success. He is a very humble man.
I hate to keep putting out you tube clips, but Joel Osteen had a great interview with sixty minutes and I want my readers to see how humble this man is. I’m curious to know what you think, so feel free to comment.

I don’t know how I came across your sight. I am not a lesbian, but am a Christian who loves the lord and do my best to walk in the spirit daily that I may not fulfill the lust of my flesh. I judge myself, and neither judge nor condemn others. When I saw your site, and it said “Lesbian Faith”, this scripture immediately came to mind, and verse 5 stood out the most:
Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Additionally,
Revelations 2:17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
I love you my sister, be blessed.
“To him that hath an ear to hear, let him hear”.
