Bible Study Which preachers do you enjoy listening to?

Rollo Tamasi said:
I watched the Lakewood church live on you tube this morning.
After a month now, my wife and I agree it's better than anywhere else.
For those who don't know that's JOEL OSTEEN!
There is nothing phony about him.
I can't understand all the negative things people say about him.
He and his church do more than anyone else I know of.
He truly loves Jesus and knows how to share that message with others.

I hear it said that Joel Osteen does not preach the gospel.
I hear that he's a Word of Faith preacher.
Can't tell because I don't really listen to preaching on YouTube.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd say that it's important to share the love that God has for us.
Even if a person does NOT understand the gospel message very much, they can still be saved
because they love God and are trying to live for Him.

Helping people put God first in their lives, that's what he does.

Well, if that's what he does, then I think it's a good thing.
I saw his church and it was chock full. So many people there.
At least they're there and hear something about God.

Does he tell people that they should love God?
Does he tell them that God/Jesus loves them?
Does he ever do any teaching at all?

He does all that and much more every week.
Maybe 10/15 years ago he struggled, but not any more.
He's so big that if he makes a mistake, the world sees it.
But when he does good, no one sees it except for his followers.
Very unfair but that's the world for you.

I think that all preaching is good unless it lies about something the bible teaches.
Maybe it's just envy - I think he has the biggest church in the states?

Ed,
I don't really listen to YouTube for preaching.
I like to listen to teaching instead.

I don't now either of the ones you mention, but I'll check them out.
It is pretty known that Joel O. is more of a motivational speaker.
The question is: Do those that attend his church love God and seek to serve Him?
If the answer is yes,,,then I don't really have a problem....
If the answer is no...then they're just going there to feel good.

I DO agree with you that CHURCH is the place where one should learn about their faith.
I was in the loop with the CC here (not much anymore) and I spoke to different priests about
the idea of using Mass to also teach. They all told me that it's not a classroom. Fine. So let
Catholics be ignorant of their faith. We have a poster here that is very knowledgeable about his faith, but I'm sure
he was very aggressive in learning because the church does not seem to help much. It might be different where he
attends church.

Yes ,that is me too . Teaching is what I go for on youtube .

And who is it that teaches you?

If I want a biblical take on current news and events Face Like the Sun and SkyWatchTV 5 in 10 on youtube . Derek Gilbert and Sharon Gilbert , Dr. Michael Heiser , Josh Peck , L. A. Marzulli , Carl Gallups , I have read some of their books and heard their teaching but that does NOT mean I agree with all that they say . And I do listen to some sermons from the pulpit , Lewis Smith at the Dora Church Of God is one .

Who do you listen to besides Joel Osteen ? I recently heard one of his sermons and I thought it was very good .
 
T.D.Jakes, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Spurgeon, Charles Stanley, Billy Graham, Watchman Nee, and whole lot of other books.
Every night I read before I go to bed.
I rarely watch anything on you tube.

I like to listen to teachers that adhere to biblical concepts.
What are biblical concepts?
Those that have been accepted by the church from the beginning...
not those that have come about recently...concepts that were not even in the minds of those
learning their faith after Jesus died and were being taught by the Apostles themselves.
