Joel Osteen, Lakewood Church Win Copyright Lawsuit: Is This God’s Doing?

If you recall, the wife of Joel Osteen, Victoria Osteen won a lawsuit that was filed against her for allegedly and violently throwing flight attendant against the airplane’s bathroom door, Shannon Brown back in 2006, according to Fox News.  Now, the Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church has won another lawsuit for using a song,“Signaling through the Flames,” written by Richard Cupolo and John Emanuele.  They were accused of using the song after a year’s time past the expiration date of the copyright agreement.  They were suing for $3 million dollars.  The average person whom profess salvation may think God is on this couple’s side, but that is not necessarily so. There are ministers of the gospel whom are allegedly serving the wrong god and if they made a discreet pact with Satan, they will seem as though everything has been working in their favor.  We are not saying that Joel and Victoria Osteen are Satan worshipers, but according to reports, they both seem to have offended and mistreated people and not allegedly made peace with them.  These rich and famous preachers of mega ministries many times win their court cases, because of their money and who they know in the judicial system, not necessarily because they know God.  Therefore, if they have not done these people right in both cases, God will give them a worse judgement they were suppose to get while on earth.   We do not wish anything on this couple, but Joel and Victoria Osteen seem to be like many celebrity pastors or mega ministries, they seem to think they are above the law, we could be wrong, but it does not look right for them to win both lawsuits without any of the other parties being compensated for what they claim was not right, according to the law.

You see, this is why a lot of people do not have a lot to do with the church these days.  It seems like many of these popular ministers are loved by God more than people when they do not treat people right and compromise in a lawsuit, if they know they are wrong.   God is not pleased with…Read full article, here.

Florida Pastor Rev. Carl Stewart Who Was Shot in Church Months Ago Dies at Home

A Florida pastor Rev. Carl Stewart of the Greater Faith Christian Center Church was found dead in his home five months after a shooting at a central Florida church that also wounded another pastor.
He was the assistant pastor and was one of two pastors who were shot at in their church when former church member Jeremiah Fogle, 57, of Lakeland, walked into the West Lakeland church and opened fire, deputies said. The incident occurred on last Sept. 18th during Sunday morning prayer.
Polk County Sheriff’s officials say a friend became worried last week after he hadn’t heard from 65-year-old Rev. Carl Stewart. He found Stewart dead.
The Ledger of Lakeland  reports prosecutors are waiting on autopsy results to decide whether to file murder charges against 57-year-old Jeremiah Fogle. The medical examiner’s office said Monday that an official cause of Stewart’s death hasn’t been determined.
Stewart and Rev. William Ross were injured in a Sept. 18 shooting at a Lakeland church. Authorities say another minister disarmed Fogle, who was arrested. Deputies found Fogle’s wife dead in their home.

TBN’s Matthew Crouch Allegedly Threatens to Kill the Granddaughter of Paul and Jan Crouch?

Last week, we mentioned that (TBN) Trinity Broadcasting Network’s Paul and Jan Crouch has accused the world’s largest Christian broadcaster of unlawfully distributing charitable assets worth more than $50 million to the company’s directors.

Read the report as it is updated:

The charges were leveled in a federal lawsuit filed by Crouch granddaughter Brittany Koper (far left) against her former lawyers, who also do legal work for Trinity. One of those lawyers said her charges were “outright fiction and wholly without merit.”
On Thursday, Feb. 9 — the same day that our story ran online —  Paul Crouch and his son, Matt, were having a live chat on TBN’s “Behind the Scenes.” Paul was reminiscing about how TBN began back in 1973 — God spoke to him as he was driving on MacArthur Boulevard — and the conversation took a turn that Koper’s attorney finds somewhat menacing.
“You know what’s funny Dad?” Matt said (at minute 8:38 on the video). “There have been a few attempts in the TBN history to upset TBN, to stop TBN, to — there have been a few fools in the 38, 39 year history, coming up on 40 years, and you know what, any attempt at stopping TBN — they have no idea who they’re actually pushing into the corner. You and Mom get pushed in a corner, God help you. That’s a lesson I’ve learned from you, seriously.”
Paul Crouch responded: “God help anyone who would try to get in the way of TBN, which was God’s plan. … I have attended the funerals of at least two people who tried….
“Boy, anyone that’s ever tried to get in the way of this network – don’t. Don’t try it. Don’t try it, I’m telling you. You’re playing with fire. God says ‘I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’ And TBN, you know what, just plain old TBN as a great network entity is proof of the sovereignty of God and the power of God against hell and high water. This network stands as a monument to the faithfulness of God. He did it. Jan and I were just simple little kids — we didn’t even know what we were doing. It was God’s idea. He did it all.”
We guess we now know why their son Paul Crouch Jr. left the network, don’t we?

Video: Pastor’s Daughter In Critical Condition After Being Shot in the Head at CHURCH; Why Were Alleged Gun Sales Allowed In God’s House?

We know God gets tired of these sudden tragedies that occur within the body of Christ and it just never seem to come to an halt.  We suppose people in the church of mega ministries or any type other type of church, big or small never think anything bad will ever happen to them and they will never get caught for doing wrong, but in the case of this church in St. Petersburg Florida, not so.   God allows whatever people allow.   Allegedly, guns were being sold by this man, Moises Zambrana who was allegedly attempting to sell one to the boyfriend of the pastor’s daughter, Hannah Kelley (above p.) who was said to be in another room when the bullet came through the wall and struck her, according to DailyMail.co.uk.
