I know a lot of people don't like Benny but when he's TEACHING..and I mean TEACHING, he's an awesome teacher ! Really. And yes, there are things I don't like about him..BELIEVE YOU ME ! I got to meet him on stage and I saw him lose his temper with his staff because the mic wasn't working.  |
This says a whole lot to me -- Benny humiliating Osteen publicly -- in the "name of Jesus," -- after an interview with 9x married Larry the King. Then he goes over and "blows" on folks who need some "healing," and they all fall into the arms of others. Yet ... he is an "awesome" teacher with a terrible temper and no patience for "incompetent" employees. What did that little "display" teach you and the others who see it regularly?
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm no huge fan of Osteen either. The only minister I liked on TV was Ron Hembree. Too bad he just passed away.
So many things are wrong here with Benny. Why can't he address Osteen privately about his "concerns." And ... where's that verse about "blowing" people down. WL was also an "awesome" teacher, who could also release his "temper" all over others. Does that give them a free pass on how we treat people?
Apostle Paul said he never used his authority for tearing down, only for building up. One of the most confusing things in the Christian life for me is seeing talented and gifted orators, who supposedly are the most fruitful and blessing to the body of Christ, all the while amassing fortunes and glory to themselves, can be so abusive to "the least of My brothers."
I'm not judging these ones. I'm just a little confused.
