I think we hate what Mrs. Osteen had to say more because it hit a little too close to home. How many times has this statement come out of your mouth on the way home on Sunday afternoon: “I didn’t really like the worship songs this morning.” We ask one another: “How was church?” What we implicitly mean is: “Did you enjoy church or was it a dud?” I cannot tell you how many people I meet that when they find out I’m a pastor the first question out of their mouth is: “Is your worship contemporary or traditional?” They are fishing to find out if ours is a church they might like. People get hung up about the style of this and the order of that. The color of the pews doesn’t suit their taste, or they actually prefer chairs instead of pews. Again, is Mrs. Osteen really that far off base? I mean, I feel like she just had the chutzpah and beaming smile to put into words the mantra by which we all secretly operate.
