What’s that all about? Different church so some kind of trend in various Christian groups.
Clearly another current example of poor poor Christianity. No better description.

That looks like a secular performance group, they do different entertainment routines. Was this in the Lakewood Church building or something? Or does this group claim to be Christian? I don’t see anything about that on their website. I honestly don’t know much about Osteen, he doesn’t impact my life in anyway. So feel free to bash away if that is how you are called by the Lord’s Spirit. I don’t think many here follow Osteen either. So your warnings and condemnation again fall on knowing ears or those (like myself) that have no connection to Osteen and his church.
Here is an example of poor Christianity. After serving with and alongside a church in Nigeria, not only was I exposed to the false gospel of the Prosperity Gospel movement, but I was brought into the lead pastor’s office and he attempted to threaten me in order to receive a bribe. I don’t know how my sharing of this story helps anyone, but at least they know that Christians across the globe are imperfect, and so are their gatherings. Is this what you’re looking for Drake?
When I think of poor Christianity, I think of the brothers and sisters trapped in the LSM churches, I think of you Drake. Your words and those of Evangelical are saved here on this forum, displaying and reflecting poor, poor Christianity. You are currently blind to see it, but know, that it does not go unnoticed.
But this too can be overcome by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There is still time. God is gracious and merciful to those who seek Him. He is a mighty and awesome deliverer of His children.
