Until he develops a more theatrical shtick, like Robert Tilton or Benny Hinn, he will remain merely a second-class charlatan.

He's all about the money, the money for himself mostly.

I liked his dad, John Osteen. He always made me feel better when I was really depressed many years ago. I no longer watch any type of Christian television nor do I read all the Christian books, something I did a lot many years ago. It's a shame to see how Christianity is mass marketed to people as "consumers" as though it is a business industry. There is something sad and rather gross about that.

Not Jesus. YOUR attitude towards everyone else is sad.
