Joel Osteen.......Stay away from him. Like many others, he is a minister of deception. Most people appear supremely confident that their ways are pleasing to God. They defend their religious beliefs and practices as being perfectly satisfactory and acceptable in God's eyes. They assume that all, or mostly all, teachers and churches bearing the Christian name teach the truth. Few indeed stop to consider that Satan's great deception is not only worldwide, but has deeply infiltrated Christianity.
In 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Paul warns of "false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ." We shouldn't be surprised at this, because "Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."
To carry out his purpose, Satan uses some people to deceive other people. This is especially true when they are motivated by personal ambition to be teachers of spiritual matters but lack a proper understanding of the Scriptures. Satan simply takes advantage of that desire and seduces susceptible individuals to represent Christ falsely, though often sincerely, while advancing the devil's own deceptive, disguised agenda. Satan is a master of misrepresentation. He is the world's greatest advertiser, packaging his product so it seems attractive and appealing, and as you described..."charming" while in reality it is deathly poisonous. Lest you be misled by this greatest of all of Satan's deceptions, you need to be sure that your beliefs are based firmly on the Bible.

Osteen.
I feel very sorry for him.
What most people don't realize about these megachurch preachers, is that they build prisons for themselves.
They create huge churches, all filled with judgmental eyes, so when they slip up, or when their income is disclosed, they get ridiculed by the very people who have relied on them for understanding for years.
Its the only profession where, success brings doom. Imagine working your life away, and achieving great success, but not being able to enjoy it without being called a money hungry hypocrite. It is no wonder many of them turn to prostitutes and drugs for comfort. At least the destitute don't condemn and judge.
