Joel Osteen, the blue-eyed, soft-spoken mega-pastor, is preaching to a sold out Yankee Stadium crowd tonight for “A Historic Night of Hope with Joel & Victoria.” I don’t know a whole lot about the guy, so I had to find out what was being said in the Twitter world.
There are literally thousands of tweets mentioning Osteen in the last 2 days. Here are a few interesting ones I came across:
LeviticusJewel: @cyananana Joel Osteen is one of the only people that I can immediately think of that I would love to taser…. Over and over again.
TiaLouWho: On the way to the new Yankee stadium for a Joel Osteen event! Is it bad that I am more excited about seeing the stadium than Joel?!?!?
train2serve: Just heard that neither Max Lucado or Joel Osteen are ordained ministers. Interesting.

Absolutely amazing!!! The night of Hope with Joel Osteen at the new Yankee stadium was a success. History was made! The first event of the year worth talking about. One that could really make a change for the better in people’s life, for real…no hype and no false promises. God can make a way where there seems to be no way.
Psalm 37:18-20 (Contemporary English Version)
Those who obey the LORD are daily in his care,
and what he has given them will be theirs forever.
They won’t be in trouble when times are bad,
and they will have plenty when food is scarce.
Joel is like the disneyland of churches…where everthything is perfect and the world outside doesn’t exist….but then you have to leave..
I’ve heard him a few times and while he’s too polished, making him seems fake ( and maybe he is) the messaging was positive and forward moving.. so how could it hurt?
yeah carry, he inspires LOTS of people. He gives people hope. He’s not for me, but, who am I?
huh i’m so crazy when my cellphone alarm to remind me to watch his replay mass here n taiwan i love lakewood church i love joel osteen he always inspired me i love you ALL there
If I watch any of his programs, it’s simply to see his hot wife. The rest of it is just repetitive, southern fried, blah blah blah. I just simply push the mute button and watch it when there isn’t something else on. Him and the new Yankee stadium are a perfect match though, he’s the new and improved Yankee Doodle Boy.
