Your Best Hurricane Now

Greg Kendall-Ball has a pretty compelling post on his blog concerning Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church. As you may remember, Lakewood purchased the former Comaq Center in Houston where the Rockets used to play. The purchase and conversion of the stadium cost the church $95 million. The sactuary officially opened with great fanfare a couple of months ago. Now some are suggesting that Osteen open up the sanctuary to serve as a shelter for storm refugees. Before I point the finger at Lakewood perhaps I need to look at myslf. Would I be willing to take a family into my home? Or would I be too worried about my guests muddying up the carpet? I hope Osteen decides to use hs new building as a ministry tool instead of a trophy. It would be a compelling witnessto the city of Houston and the world.
