![]() Many also note Osteen is an award winning author as well. Some came to the church leaders defense however, reasoning that the Pastor has been working and investing outside of the church for years. The prosperity Gospel is dangerous and telling your constituents that the more they give to the church the more they will be blessed is literally not what Jesus stood for. I’ll never understand how people buy whatever Joel Osteen is selling. Remember that one time Joel Osteen helped the poor instead of himself? Yeah, me neither. Y’all forgot that Jesus was a wealthy man- he fed, housed and clothed twelve disciples for years, a beautiful lady wiped his feet with her hair, his earthly father was a carpenter( very rich profession then and now) etc. Joel turned donations from his disciples into an Italian sports car. Jesus turned water into wine for his disciples. What would Jesus think of Joel Osteen's $325,000 Ferrari? You’re a false prophet who reaps false profits Lindy Li July 18, 2021 Joel Osteen got $4.4 million in forgivable PPP loansĬlosed the doors of his church to those in need after a hurricane Here are some of the inflamed commentary surrounding the matter below. Twitter users had varying opinions on the matter however, many felt the Pastor's luxury lifestyle and new purchase were unwarranted. And his newest Ferrari is not his first or only luxury car tucked away in his garage. He and his wife currently live in their $10.5 million dollar home in River Oaks. They also own a second $2.9 million mansion in Tanglewood, Houston. Some believe these church's sole focus is in monetary growth and not preaching the word of God and stewardship. Many question "what's too much" for God and whether these megachurches and pastors have veered too far off course from traditional church practices. The question of the ethicality of megachurches and their esteemed pastors has been persistently brought to the forefront of discussion since the creation of the very first one. Their fury was further fueled when photos of famed pastor's newly purchased $325,000 Ferrari 458 Italia surfaced. In related news, the US vetoes a UN proposal regarding the Catholic Church.This past Sunday Twitter users took to the platform with a barrage of tweets after news, reported by the Small Business Administration (SBA), of the 4.4 million dollar PPP Loan awarded to Pastor Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston broke. Judge Canard made it clear that Osteen needs to handwrite the notes as well as make each one unique “in a meaningful way.” ![]() “His hand will suffer greatly for the sins he’s committed.” ![]() “Pastor Osteen is a scoundrel and a grifter,” Judge Canard said. It only seems right to force Osteen to write each and every one of them a personalized apology. Approximately 45,000 people attend church services every Sunday at Lakewood. Judge Canard saw an opportunity to exact a punishment that is fitting the sin. ![]() One of Osteen’s parishioners lodged a complaint about the corruption. Meanwhile, he has made appearances on the Today Show, urging people to not “focus on what have or don’t have.”įederal Judge Andrew Canard wasn’t impressed. Osteen reportedly owns a $300,000 Ferrari and a $10.5 million mansion, and has been photographed traveling in style on a luxury jet. It caused “Osteen” and “Ferrari” to trend on social media as observers questioned the institution’s need for such a huge payout. Lakewood Church, which is tax-exempt like most religious institutions, took $4.4 million in taxpayer-funded Paycheck Protection Program loans at the height of the COVID pandemic last year-all while senior pastor Joel Osteen flaunted his insane wealth. ![]()
