J...Joni, I don't know much about Osteen either. Just heard some things about the Prosperity Gospel and can say I don't really agree. <br /><br />The titled confused me as well. I kept thinking, "Explain yourself, Mister! You want us to sin in a bold way?" :)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-24818773638481119432009-11-12T16:00:32.690-05:002009-11-12T16:00:32.690-05:00I really don't know much about Joel Osteen oth...I really don't know much about Joel Osteen other than 1)he has a book they sell at WalMart and that he has a pretty huge church for being so young. Honestly, when I saw him I thought "he's awfully young to have such a big church. I hope he's not destined for a big fall." " That's a pretty cynical thing to think.<br /><br />I am glad Carmen asked about the title because I found that confusing too.Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169436966724651241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-69208159518201699162009-11-11T19:46:44.539-05:002009-11-11T19:46:44.539-05:00Carmen, yeah, I think it's a gimmicky title. O...Carmen, yeah, I think it's a gimmicky title. One of those "don't judge a book by its cover" things perhaps. <br /><br />I think the braveness IS in the confession and realizing it's all by God's grace and it's all about Him, not us. So I think you summarized it pretty well. :)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-11474347241507016452009-11-10T16:35:30.698-05:002009-11-10T16:35:30.698-05:00"The life of brave sinning, with its courageo..."The life of brave sinning, with its courageous confession of sin and recognition of our inability to do any good without God, renders us God-centered at the core of our being."<br /><br />I'm not really understanding. Is this guy using the title as a gimmick? Or is he saying the bravery is in the confession? I don't see that as brave sinning. I see that as true humility. <br /><br />hahaha <br /><br />I think I'm confused.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597013408191149111noreply@blogger.com
