Bad Public Behavior
Joel Osteen’s wife, Victoria, was sued for allegedly shoving a flight attendant during an “in-flight tantrum over a stained seat.” This is a sad thing to happen to a very prominent “evangelical” personality. Two flight attendants filed separate lawsuits against Victoria Osteen concerning the incident. The Osteen camp through their lawyer, believed that this lawsuit is only a “money grab.”
Whether the incident really happened or not, this is a reminder for everyone who claimed and believed that they are Christians, to watch our life and doctrine closely; in which the Apostle Paul reminded Timothy, his young and beloved “son in the Lord,” in 1 Timothy 4:16…
“Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.“
This incident also reminds that people are watching us – not just the members of God’s flock, but the rest of the world as well. One of the flight attendants, said through her psychiatrist, that her patient “suffered depression and post-traumatic stress disorder because of the incident. She also felt disrespected in her role as a leader and as a black woman, and had her faith affected.”

R.C. Sproul on Predestination
“When the Bible speaks of predestination, it speaks of God’s sovereign involvement in certain things before they happen. He chooses in advance certain things to take place. For example, he predestined creation. Before God created the world, he decided to do it.
Usually when people think of predestination, they think about whether or not somebody was hit by an automobile on a given day because God had decided ahead of time that that should happen on that day. Read the rest of this entry »
Strong Words from a Strong Man…
“If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright.”
- Martin Luther
