NEW YORK (AP) Texas pastor Joel Osteen is getting his own channel on SiriusXM satellite radio, which will air his sermon at Yankee Stadium this Saturday live nationally.
Osteen, who preaches to 40,000 people each week at Houston's Lakewood megachurch, already shows his messages on the Trinity religious TV network and other television stations across the country. The new SiriusXM channel will feature live call-in shows hosted by Osteen and his wife, fellow Lakewood pastor Victoria Osteen, along with rebroadcasts of Osteen's past sermons.
"It's another way to get our message out," Osteen said.
He said SiriusXM approached him about five years ago with the idea but the time wasn't right.

It must be a proud day for him.

"I don't think... (homosexuality is) God's best," he added.
O'Brien then asked Osteen, "You would say, the Scripture says homosexuality is a sin?"
"Exactly," Osteen agreed."
Aaaaaaaand another 'pastor' preaching 'religion' that doesn't know shit.

He's all about the money and he is simply flowing with the tides.

I miss Frank, too. I recently caught some of his old stuff on a radio tribute and I laughed myself silly.

The guy they got to sing Frank's parts sounds so much like Frank that if you attended the show blindfolded, you'd think he was actually in the room. It's that realistic. Napoleon Murphy Brock was supposed to be there that night but couldn't attend for some reason or another.
