Today I bumped into someone that attends some charismatic church influenced by the Joel Osteen message and she claims to have been radically healed of many physical diseases. We spoke a little about witnessing but to her she does not feel the need to push the gospel on anyone but only will witness if the Holy Spirit tells her to do so. She thinks the Holy Spirit has to tell her everything. I mentioned John 14:6 but she ignored it. I mean if Muslims and those of other religions are headed to Hell must we not be passionate to reach them? I mostly let her do the talking but challenged her thinking a little with questions.
She also said she reads Charles Stanley and there is a HUGE difference between him and Osteen. Stanley at least knows the gospel but Osteen misses it. She realized that a little but saw no need to condemn the Osteen message of prosperity and wealth.
