The Internet is not letting Lakewood Church pastor and televangelist Joel Osteen off the hook after he posted a tweet encouraging others to enjoy the “simple things in life” even if you don’t “have a lot of resources.”
It’s not an uncommon sentiment to hear from a pastor, but many online users pointed out that Osteen might not be the best spokesperson for that message. After all, Osteen’s estimated net worth is at least $50 million, and his two homes in Texas have a combined value of $13.4 million.
users were quick to start their unofficial Osteen Roast, letting the megachurch pastor know he might need to think before he tweets.
Yeah, Joel, your multimillion dollar mansions and $350,000 Maserati are the “simple things in life.”
Why don’t you try living like you preach as Jesus would have you do? Move into an average home, drive a Chevy, get your own clothes and groceries, cook, clean.
6 months. Deal?
It’s the simple things in life that bring us the most joy. You may not have a lot of resources, but if you have family, you’re blessed. If you have your health, you’re blessed. If you can look up at the stars at night, you’re blessed.
