I used to really like Olsteen. Until I seen that interview and heard a few more of his sermons. He's all prosperity. Which is great, God does want his people to prosper, but he also wants salvation preached to a dying world, and not once have I ever heard the man even hint at salvation.

I don't place a lot of stock in these 'mega-churches'. Lakewood (Olsteen's church) rakes in $30,000 from it's members and $70,000 from outside donations. I know I'm not supposed to judge, but it seems to me if the man had this much money coming in, he'd occasionally mention salvation and the name of his Lord when given the opportunity.

So true and instead of a huge house, he'd have some foster children or building houses for the homeless. I've never cared for any preacher who is well dressed, living like a king when his flock is suffering.
