John Osteen. I can't believe he said this:

"It's not a churchy feel," Osteen, 40, said. "We don't have crosses up there. We believe in all that, but I like to take the barriers down that have kept people from coming. A lot of people who come now are people that haven't been to church in 20 to 30 years."

"[People] can go and enjoy the service but really don't have to participate," said Wise. "But it's that participation that really makes for a good Christian."

I'm all for expanding your reach, but not at the sake of pimping an event. This to me defines what's wrong with a majority of churches today. They are trying to sell Jesus in my opinion. You can't minimize the person of Jesus. He's the Holy of holies, just the very name being uttered makes me thankful of His greatfulness.
