Re: joel osteen
I'm not a fan of church going. But when i did the church i was attending mobilized in anticipation of hurricanes. They already had cots and supplies in readiness. They already publicized they would be open 24/7 for people displaced. They already had volunteers on standby and actively recruited members to help respond. They made a difference in the community several times with their commitment to service.
The resources available to osteen are un precedented in scope. A huge shelter, tens of thousands of ppl, it is appaling that he is having to be shamed into doing more than "praying". If he had mobilized his congregation and resources they could be serving thousands right now in their community. Disgusting.
