Joel Osteen Tickets Information
Joel Osteen
Featured as one of Barbara Walters's 10 Most Fascinating People of 2006", and was named "Most Influential Christian in America" in 2006 by The Church Report, it is Joel Scott Hayley Osteen (born March 5, 1963)who is the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. His second book, Become a Better You, was released in October 2007 with a first printing of three million copies.
Osteen has been criticized for preaching too much on prosperity gospel, which focuses on good health and prosperity for Christians, and not enough on sin. Due to not mentioning Jesus much and displaying World Map instead of a Cross, many non-Christians admire Joel as well. There are many Jews and Hindus who are his followers. He preaches "way of life", which gets accepted across religions and boundaries. Osteen has also been criticized for not having any theological training. Osteen has received a BA in television production, but did not study theology or religion in college, and has never attended a Seminary.
Born in Houston, Texas, Osteen would later in life marry Victoria L. Iloff on 4 April 1987. They have two children, Jonathan and Alexandra. Joel, son of John and Dodie Osteen, is one of six children. After 17 years with his father producing the church's television program, Joel succeeded his father on October 3, 1999 as pastor of Lakewood Church. Joel had only preached once in his life, the week before his father's death. Today, Lakewood Church services, led by Pastor Osteen, are seen in over 100 nations around the world. Joel Osteen's first book, Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential, was released in October 2004. In December 2006, he was named one of the year's "Ten Most Fascinating People" by Barbara Walters.
Presently, Osteen and several Lakewood Church team members travel across the nation, presenting programs in large stadiums to a paying public. The event titled "A Night of Hope," includes worship music led by the church's music ministry, a testimony by Joel's mother Dodie and a sermon from Pastor Osteen. In 2007, the tour expanded to include stops in several other countries, including Canada, England, Northern Ireland and Israel. Osteen released his second book, entitled Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day in October 2007 under Simon & Schuster publishing, which has also topped the New York Times Best Sellers List. Osteen told Larry King the new book will focus more on relationships and not getting stuck where we are in life. "Just my basic message of becoming all God's created you to be," he added.
Osteen says that he chooses to focus on the goodness of God rather than sin. In answer to questions raised over why he does not include many Bible verses in his books, he says that he sees himself as more of a life coach, and thinks that there are probably others better qualified, or more gifted for explaining Bible verses. Osteen explains that he tries to teach Biblical principles in a simple way, emphasizing the power of love and a positive attitude.
Osteen was criticized, after a 2005 appearance on Larry King Live, for not being clear enough in saying that Jesus Christ is the only way to get to Heaven. He stated only God can look at somebody's heart, but that as a believer in the Christian faith, he believes in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In late 2006, Osteen again appeared on Larry King Live and clarified his prior statement, saying he believes a personal relationship with Christ is the only way to Heaven.
On the December 23, 2007 edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace brought up criticisms of Osteen's lack of study of scripture in his sermons, and lack of bringing up sin as an integral part of life. Osteen responded that "And I am ultimately trying to do that, but I'm trying to teach people how to live their everyday lives, and so I do focus on it, probably not as much as some people would like."
