Gospel Today = Money?

Question

I like Dr. Frederick K.C. Price of the Crenshaw Christian Center in Los Angeles California. However, I have noticed that no matter what his message is, the mention of money is inescapable coming from the lips of Dr. Price. For example, he talks about FAITH or PRAYER and not even 15 minutes have passed in his message without mentioning money.

Then we have the pretty boy JOEL OSTEEN. I call him the pastor of love. His messages are about positive thinking and Christian psychology (whatever that is) but not about the true nature of the gospel. It's okay to be positive but Osteen NEVER, I mean NEVER tells it like it is. Yes, God is love and loves everyone but God is also a God of justice and hates sin and cannot allow sin to enter heaven. Why doesn't Osteen ever mention what happens to people who die outside of the family of God? Jesus spoke more about hell than heaven but Osteen (and many like him) have decided they do not want to hurt feelings and so they skip certain issues.

Answer 1

its all a matter of viewpoint, to me Jesus spoke more about love then anything else, and in the Bible is quoted as saying "if you can do nothing else, then love"
and i also believe people improve when given positive reinforcement, so i think there is merit in showing people a positive , loving road to walk
While God may not want us to sin, i dont think you really can say justice is a major focus, if so there would not be so many unjust things that occur in this world.

as to the money issue, yes, some focus more on money, some may well only be in it for the money, and i am sure take in much more then needed to support getting their message out
yet at the same time, our CEO's of other companies make huge salaries
to me it kinda falls into the category of why do we pay or wish to pay those who are most important to our lives, our teachers, caregivers of the young, religious leaders , the lest amount of money, or think they should not be focused on money, while the rest of us are?
I personally think that those who focus on love do reach many people who simply cant accept a fire and brimstone version, and no one to me is outside of the family of God, some just maybe are a little closer and tuned into the spirit,
