Secretary: Thank you for calling the office of the Mayor of Houston. How can I help you? Joel: Good morning... this is Pastor Joel Osteen. Sec.: What a pleasant surprise. And good morning to you, Houstons most famous pastor. How are you doing this morning? Joel: Well, I am blessed of course. Sec.: Of course. Are you smiling? Joel: You know I am. Sec.: How may I assist you this morning? Joel: Well, I noticed that Mayor Parker is wanting pastors to send in their sermons to make sure they are legal. Sec.: Yes sir. Apparently some preachers speak on issues they consider sin and using the Bible they condemn anything that is unholy. This could be a serious violation of the changing laws and we want to stop religious speech that promotes one lifestyle as more Godly than another. Joel: Okay... well, I understand that. So where should I send my sermons? Sec. (laughing): Oh... no... Pastor Joel. We are all familiar with your messages. And trust me... you never condemn sin or preach about this holiness. You have already gone on record as saying that you cant say Jesus is the only way to Heaven. So there is no need for you to send your sermons in. This is for those Bible preachers. Joel: Oh... ok. Well thank you. And I hope you have your best life today.
