I'm wondering how many come forward to profess faith in what Osteen is doing, rather than faith in Christ. How many want to get on the Osteen bandwagon, so to speak? He certainly has taken "The Purpose-Driven Life" and "The Purpose-Driven Church" to a new level. I pray that those who come forward in an "altar call" genuinely understand what they are doing.
Just think ~~ a congregation of 30,000. If each one gives one dollar every Sunday, that's $30,000 into supporting the ministry, the lights, gas, and water, support staff, etc., times 52 weeks, times 30 years or more with Osteen as pastor. Now do the math with $5, then $10, then $25 each Sunday. Wow.
If he hasn't caught up with Benny Hinn, Kenneth & Gloria Copeland, Paul & Jan, as millionaires, yet, he's coming on strong.
