Victoria Osteen, wife of televangelist Joel Osteen, asked members in Lakewood mega church, "doing good to oneself" because obedience, church and worship are not for God but for the happiness of oneself, According to a video recorded recently.
"I just want to encourage each of you to notice, quecuando obey God, we do for God, that is, is a way to see it, we do it for ourselves, because God is pleased when we are happy, "Victoria said with her ​​husband beside her and nodded. "That's what gives you the greatest joy ..." he said, quoted Christian News.
"Therefore, I want you to know this morning  only does good for yourself . Do good because God wants you to be happy, "Osteen continues. "When you come to church, when you love it, you do not to really God. You do it for yourself, because that is what makes God happy. Amen? ".
Steve Camp, pastor of the Cross Church in Palm City, Florida and former singer and composer, said he saw the  video  on Wednesday, and although saddened, not surprised his speech. He said Osteen's statements were humanist in nature and incompatible with Scripture.
"It's the age old sin of idolatry, which is not God, it's us," he said. "True worship for the humanist is about how we feel at the end of the day and what gives meaning to our lives, as opposed to what gives glory of God."
"When we see people happy instead of God glorified, is not worship is idolatry, "said Camp, reading Psalm 115.1, which says," not us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth ". He said Osteen's words are essentially blasphemous because no account of the holiness of God and how to be worshiped.
"She honestly believes that God exists to make us happy instead of Santo" lamented Camp. "She really believes that worship is about our compliance rather than glory. That's the underlying issue here. "
"1 Corinthians clearly says that if we eat or drink, do all to the glory of God. Not about oneself, said Camp. "... In Matthew 16 Jesus said, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. '"
"The Osteens have only invested. "They do not need the denial of itself, but the exaltation of self (the ego), lamented Camp. "I do not want to pursue a cross; They are trying to pursue prosperity. And certainly are not following Jesus of the Bible; are following what brings happiness and joy. "
