Yeah, actually now that i think about it, the lower school in my kids' private school actually opened up in a building on the campus of a local Catholic church.
Speaking of the devil--lol!!
Right now I only have one skillet big enough.

Where I stumble here isn't even so much in Osteen's lack of any educational background in preaching, but also his utter lack of interest in gaining one. Also, the author of this article tries to make a comparison between Osteen and Jesus which is pretty uch epic fail. While Jesus certain taught to the rank and file of the day with parables and stories to illustrate His point, the fact is, Jesus knew Judaic law inside and out, up one side and down the other. When he was as young as twelve, the Gospels teach us, He was discussing Scriptures and the law with rabbis at the temple. And even His parables illustrated key elements of Torah that His listeners were presumed to be familiar with--from studying them constantly. Jesus wasn't avoiding the Scriptures with His stories--He was giving them life and context.
Thus, for the author of your article to attempt that parallel is simply unconscionable--attempting to prejudice the reader into seeing Jesus where a salesman is standing.
