I would. 1 Corinthians 5 admonishes those who would not speak out. I would have to agree! not making judgments for secular marriages is biblical, but if a "Christian pastor" who calls himself a brother in Christ performs a marriage ceremony for homosexuals, I think the elders of his church should have him removed, with a swift kick in the pants as he rolls down the steps. personally I think Joel was not called to be a pastor but rather he has the gift of encouragement (Romans 12:8) and simply took over the family business when his father passed away, his preaching is not that of a teacher or a pastor, he simply is an encourager and has the most watered down version of the gospel someone may be graced to hear. I have to say Joels definitely got the mercy part down, and the making no judgments........but as a pastor he is called to make judgments and that's where he is in lack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KING: Where were you ordained? OSTEEN: I was ordained from the church there, Lakewood, under my dad’s ministry. KING: So you didn’t go to seminary? OSTEEN: No, sir, I didn’t. KING: They can just make you a minister? OSTEEN: You can, you can. KING: That’s kind of an easy way in. Read more of the interview here I think Joel would be a great motivational speaker!
