Funny thing happened to us on Saturday, We were really excited to have tickets for Joel Osteen's Night of Hope event at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago with our friends Keith and Joy as well as 3 other like minded couples. As we were walking up to the concert we could hear a couple of guys on bullhorns shouting negative comments about Osteen and all of us that were headed to the concert. Their message was that we were less that Christian, because we were attending, and I quote, "a feel good event" with no basis in scripture.
Joel admits that he has never gone to Seminary, that he wasn't called into this Ministry, but stepped into the position after his fathers death. I wasn't there looking for a "feel good event", but I did feel better being there. I don't think that most of the 40,000 people there were there because it was a "feel good event", mostly we were all there to hear his message of Hope and encouragement to stay the course, ask for Gods favor in our lives.
Now I feel good!
