Mr. Osteen, my son Lone Walker earmarked some articles about you and the Houston flooding. All I can think after reading the articles is one word about your actions and that is "Shame on you." Even if they were all somehow wrong, you let yourself get into a position that reflects poorly on God.
A church that chooses who can come in its doors and when is not a house where God is present. It is a house of pretenders whose path will not lead them to heaven. Being shamed into doing what is the right thing remains wrong on so very many levels. May you find your way back into God's grace.
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
