“Osteen may not have "enough bible" for hard core fire and brimstone Christians, true. But I am willing to bet the farm that Osteen is NOT aiming at that constituency. Those who want to insert Christ more forcefully into his message should remember that Christ, when asked why he dined with sinners and tax collectors answered that a doctor does not spend his time with the healthy but with the sick. In order to spend time with the "sick," Osteen needs for them to open their doors and invite him in. It may be hard to believe for those living in devoutly religious communities, but there are many places in this country where strings of biblical quotes and fire and brimstone logic will only win a door slammed in your face. Look at where he speaks on his speaking tours...and you will understand, Osteen has been given a Gift from God to speak to those who would normally turn a blind eye to the word of Christ. Some of you may say "well that is their own fault let them burn." But i ask you, if you were a parent, and the baby in your care refused to eat peas, and you considered those peas to be essential,would you say to that infant "oh well then by your own choice, you are not going to get the nourishment I know you need? Would you NOT--as many a good mother has done--mix those peas on the spoon with some tasty pears in order to slip the nourishment past the skeptical child? For those of us with Faith, Osteen provides good advice. For those without Faith, Osteen gives sane, rational, wonderful view of Christ's face-- that counteracts the hateful nauseating face that Christianity takes when the likes of Pat Robertson get the media focus, become the representatives of us all and cause people to slam the door on the Word. It's ALL ABOUT WINNING SOULS people. Osteens teachings may not quote scripture at every turn, but his teachings are not immoral--and they ARE based in Biblical Truth. And in the end, it's about our PRIMARY MISSION AS SPOKEN BY GOD...to win Souls for Jesus. In this, Osteen's message is superb.”Read full review »

“I don't know about Osteen's personal beliefs, but he seems to be merely a motivational speaker. He invites people to Jesus without even explaining who Jesus is. People might come out thinking they will be perpetually happy, but will only end up confused later on because they have no real...”Read full review »

“Remember Christains....we are not to judge what Joel Osteen is doing for God. It is not our place to do so...we all have different assignments from the Lord. Each messenger of God has something different to offer to each and every one of us. Not all of us were meant to hear from Joel, so if he...”Read full review »
