And what of the Bible verse that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven? Or that Jesus preached his followers to give up all their belongings and follow him?

“Years back at least, you know you had to be poor and to show you were holy,” Osteen said. “You’re supposed to sacrifice everything, and I’m all for sacrifice and I believe in that, but I also believe that God wants us to be leaders. He’s put gifts and talents in every person, that they’re supposed to come out to the full.”
