From internetmonk.com » Osteen Redux:
"Conservative evangelicals are strangely silent about Osteen, even though he outdoes liberals, mystics, the emerging church and many outright apostates in his abandonment of the Gospel. One of the reasons I am a post-evangelical is that I see little evidence that evangelicalism has the ability to separate itself from a successful minsiter who threw the Gospel itself away in order to be popular. Osteen is the present and the future of evangelicalism. If this is where we’re going, you can have him, and the whole movement."

"Post-evangelical." Interesting term. Is that like Web 2.0?
But I agree with the sentiment. There are so many popular Christian pastors/speakers out there that make me cringe to think that I might be linked to them in some way.
