Joel Osteen leads a megachurch. Many think that if many people agree then the message must be true....is that what the Bible says? Is that what happened when Moses went up on the Mount, and then all the people were dancing around a golden calf?
"But Joel talks about Jesus and forgiveness, and he's just trying his best to bring a positive message. Why be so negative.
