'The Bible said a sin is pride, a sin is self-ambition. ... We tend to pick out these certain things. ... But I believe every person is made in the image of God, and you have to accept them as they are, on their journey. ... I'm not here to be preaching hate, pushing people down. ... I'm not here telling people what they're doing wrong."
.... What?! .. You are supposed to preach the written Word of God which clearly speaks about what is, and is not, a sin. ... Practicing homosexuality is definitely a sin. ... 2 Timothy 4:3-4 says this ... "For the time will come when men  will not put up with sound doctrine.  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  4) They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." ...

... What Mr. Osteen is saying is purely a myth, and is "itching ear" theology. ... Sadly, this man oversees a congregation of 45,000 followers, which includes Cher and Oprah Winfrey. ... His latest book is titled "Break out!  5 key ways to go beyond your barriers and live an extraordinary life." ... The 'all about self' jumps out here .. just the opposite of Christ's teachings on selflessness! ... Simply Joel Osteen IS one of the 'last-day' deceivers ......

This is the first time in recorded history that we have every major central bank in the world printing money, so the world is floating on an artificial sea of liquidity. ... One day soon, this 'artificial sea' is going to disappear, and when it does, the catastrophe will be beyond imagination."

.... We knew the economic issues would 'come back' to haunt us after the summer slumber ... Well, here they are! ... This scenario sounds like what I've been preaching for some time now, only he said it a bit more eloquently ......      

*** Another week goes by, and so quickly ... and boy do we have a lot this time around! ... Because of the length, my summation will be brief .... This Joel Osteen thing doesn't surprise me really, but it troubles me deeply nevertheless. ... It's just another major America 'Christian' leader selling out to the devil right before our eyes. .. Adding this to what the Pope is saying, along with the leader of the American Episcopal Church saying that Paul's teachings 'are of the devil' .... it's just overwhelming to me at times ... Why? ... Because so many of the folks out there are so vulnerable simply because they lack the Bible knowledge to combat this deceit .... These big-time leaders are spitting directly into God's face, an He WILL NOT TOLERATE this garbage much longer! ... Come, Lord Jesus!

Just remember to open your Bibles and read the Word as much as you can ... The truth of Scripture is our protection in these trying days. ....Know that I love each & every one of you & am praying for you constantly in this time of evil. ... Know that you are NEVER alone .... Hallelujah!!!

Until next time,
