An Inspiration to Millions
Joel Osteen is a native Texan and the Pastor of Lakewood Church, which according to Church Growth Today is America's largest and fastest growing church. On July 16, 2005 after completing $95 million dollars in renovations, Joel moved Lakewood Church into its new 16,000-seat home - the former Compaq Center. It is the largest regularly-used worship center in the United States. Each week Joel delivers God's message of hope and encouragement to more than 38,000 attendees. According to Nielsen Media Research, Joel is the most watched inspirational figure in America. His weekly sermon is broadcast into every U.S. television market where it is viewed by seven million Americans each week and more than 20 million each month. His weekly broadcast is also seen in almost 100 nations around the world.
In 2004, his first book, Your Best Life Now, was released by Time Warner debuting at the top of the New York Times Bestsellers List and quickly rising to #1. It remained on the New York Times Bestseller for more than 2 years and has sold more than 4 million copies. Most recently, Joel was named as one of Barbara Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People of 2006" and he was selected as the "Most Influential Christian in 2006" by the readers of Church Report Magazine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl_NJ_RQY80&feature=share Joel Osteen is a fluffy feel good preacher who cares little about the souls of his congregation. He truly is a poor Shepard who cares more about peoples feelings than telling them the truth. Success is not an indication of being right with God. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/Apostasy /dead_churches.htm I pray you watch what you present is being of the LORD......for these men are NOT!!!!
