My wife works with a "Christian" co-worker. Patti, my wife asked her today if she ever listened to Alistair Begg. She said, "Yes, and I really like Joyce Myers, and Joel Osteen. My wife's heart became very heavy.
I guess the best thing for her is to be wise as a snake, and harmless as a dove, and try to help this sheep come away from these wolves.
Osteen is an empty cloud. His words fall to the ground. He has a million dollar sound system, and speaks empty religious jargon into it.
I have heard people say this before too. They listen to some Biblically sound preacher and then turn around a listen to Myers, Osteen, Jakes etc. Do they not see the contradiction? All this pluralism in our society has made us so inconsistant and wishy washy.
