God gives people hope....not man...and "thoughts become THINGS"--things are materialistic, they are of the world, not of God.
Why don't we look at his success..... he's turned the word of God into a business venture...what do you suppose he drives? And his clothes and jewelry.....I'm sure that God isn't anymore impressed with him because he wears expensive clothing and "things....wordly things," than he is with me, (and I don't need things of the world...nor do I desire them)...oh yeah.... and watch the congregation at that church...do they have a dress code??? A bum off the street would probably be shunned for trying to set foot in that church, since it's being recorded on television!

Even though Joel is very well known for "what he does," look at all the things that he is trying to justify...his church....a business generating revenue....period! Just because people (sometimes even whole congregations) go to church, and "live good lives" that doesn't mean that they are Christian. You can't justify you actions because you want something, and you're making it seem as if this is what God wants for you....you need to follow God's word in it's entirety (not pulling a verse out to make it sound like what you want to hear). I know that we are all human, and we all sin...but PLEASE.....don't justify your actions....live the word.....especially if you're preaching to that many people, he needs to lead by example... I'm tired of writing about this for now, it's seriously exhausting me thinking about how many people claim to be Christian and aren't, then you have the people who are really trying to be Christian, but are being "lead astray by the wlof, who justifies and deceives," and then there are a select few (the minority of the population) who really are Christian... and they are living God's world (what he wants, and following His word) and not living "in the world."

WOW...............ok...... well....I've posted a long coment below.... so if you feel like reading more..... go for it, but this is seriously exhausting me...

God Bless... (I posted the really long one....the one about why you can't follow this principle and BE Christian--I just forgot to post my name to it)
