Voddie Baucham joins us today (in spirit, of course 😉) to help us discuss False Teacher of the Day #20, Joel Osteen. Joel Osteen is probably one of the most famous false teachers of our time and, for the most part, most Bible-believing Christians already understand this without reservation.
Therefore, this author finds it unnecessary to point out the obvious by trying to convince you of Joel Osteen’s heresies–namely, the self-centered Prosperity Gospel–and, instead, focus on some Scriptures and apologetics to refute it. At the end, Voddie Baucham’s commentary is extremely helpful in helping us put it together in a practical and passionate way.
The Prosperity Gospel–also known as “Health and Wealth Gospel,” “Name it and Claim it,” and “Word of Faith”–is a perversion of the biblical gospel that teaches that the primary purpose of Jesus’ death and resurrection is to create material gain for those who have enough “faith.”
Adherents to this false gospel are found primarily in the charismatic movement and include prominent figures such as Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, and T.D. Jakes. But the movement also includes Joel Osteen who isn’t as focused as much on the charismaticism as he is on the financial prosperity of his movement.
