Guys, I don’t even know what Joel Osteen’s evangelical doctrine is anymore, except the marketing mantra of maximizing who you are as a person. A God-centered theology? Hardly.

This is a companion piece to the Osteen post Mormon Church: Deity of Christ .
Christ is born!
Glorify Him!
It seems to me that “maximizing who you are as a person” is what both Mormonism and Osteen’s “word of faith” “prosperity gospel” really come down to, both covering the Nietzchean will to power with a very thin veneer of Christian-like rhetoric.
In contrast, Jesus says, “Take up your cross and follow me” while Paul writes of Christ’s strength made perfect in human weakness. Christ has not come to “make good men better” but to resurrect the dead, even as He Himself is risen.
