| I saw an ad promoting Joel Osteen's upcoming Night of Hope in Las Vegas. I've never been to one of them but I would imagine that the event would be really excellent.Of course I don't endorse everything that Joel says or does, but he does draw a lot of people to these events. Most of them are not attached to a church and many do not have a faith community or background.It seems to be an excellent way to reach new people, to possibly help some of them make a new start in life and a new beginning with the issue of faith. I understand that their names are then given to local churches to follow up. Billy Graham did that too and very effectively.whachathink?Doyl |
