"Celeb-evangelists"?....??????

"A sellout crowd craving a hopeful, positive God that “wants to supersize joy (Right there is the first problem) turned a Nationals Park sunset into an unusual Sunday church service led by Joel Osteen, pastor of the country’s largest church.
The “Night of Hope” service led by the Texas celeb-evangelist was a blend of worship, musical performance and the beaming encouragement that has made Osteen one of the most-watched American spiritual figures today. The Sunday show was rescheduled from the night before because of rain, but the ballpark was largely filled. It was the biggest faith event since Pope Benedict XVI’s 2008 visit." TheWashingtonPost
You don't need large crowd gatherings to worship God
For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:20
