Joel Osteen was featured on 60 Minutes last night, interviewed by Byron Pitts. See the link below for Christian blogger Michael Spencer's thoughts on the interview. Here's a preview:
"The line about getting people into 'church' who have been out of 'church' is simply crap, to be polite. No one in this movement is in church. They’re in the worst form of the prosperity Gospel, they are abandoning the God of the Bible, and they are glorifying a man who is assisting in the humiliation of the Gospel of Jesus. Osteen is a motivational speaker, and he uses only enough Christianity as necessary to get in the pockets of the gullible. Osteen is a Gospel preacher like Col. Sanders is an army officer." "Again, as I’ve said before, every evangelical leader needs to personally and by name repudiate and separate from Osteen, and call upon him and his followers to come back into the faith that is articulated in the Apostle’s Creed."
