Of course, that is a big issue as well--I guess my point would be that, even were he not to be a proclaimer of the word-faith message, what he does proclaim is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, and at some point, evangelicals need to stand up and call things as they are. Look, if Joel Osteen or any of the word-faith guys were to repent of their false teaching, I'd be thrilled; it certainly isn't my point to bash gratuitously. Nor is it my point to nitpick about fine points of theology. But if we'll swallow this nonsense as being in any shape or form "Christian", then my, how far have we fallen... I'm going to do some serious thinking about what an appropriate response needs to be, and I'll follow up with a post on my conclusions sometime in the next few days.
