Joel Osteen is wonderful for new Christians and he definitely serve a purpose. You don't need to fire and brimstone to scare you into serving God.
But the preachers that I love are:
1. Dr. Leslie Smith (my preacher)
2. Tony Evans
3. Charles Stanley
4. Jack Graham
5. Joel Olsteen
and people who love holiness
...WOW!!!! I bet you were a GREAT JW

I'm an agnostic. I watched a recent interview of Rick Warren with the naughty Pierce Morgan ( ) and I really like his personality. Even though I do not agree with things he belives in,. I felt uplifted. Kind of strange for me.
I also like listening to Depak Chopra and the late Christoher Hitchens and I think the Dali Lama has a special personality.
But i follow no one. To me they are just interesting people.
Forgot all about Rick Warren --- I enjoyed listening to him one time and remember that popular book--- "Purpose Driven Life." Have to say he's pretty focused and our main purpose in life is the good news or diciple-making work and not our hobbies or self-interests. Know of a local megachurch that studied his book as a congregation.
Will check out the Larry King/Osteen youtube.
LV101: Yes Rogers passed away November 15, 2005 and they are still playing his taped sermons. Excellent and solid preaching.
Pterist: I enjoyed Fudges' "The Fire That Consumes" and other works he contributed to (Four Views/Two Views on Hell). I sent him a copy of my manuscript, "Eternal Torment: Image and Reality"and he actually wrote me back, and encouraged me to get it published. Real servant of God in my books.
Rick Warren showed the deference to speak his audience's language. I am pleased, eva luna, that he left you feeling uplifted. So should it always be.
I agree jgnat.
Rick Warren gives away 91 % of his income to diverce charities. I found that very admirable.
jgnat --- really enjoyed watching Rick Warren's video/thanks for sharing. Will dig out the book that I raced through.
