(ChurchLeaders) Joel Osteen, pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, is in the news again and this time people are criticizing him for purchasing a Ferrari. After photos surfaced of the megachurch pastor with a $325,000 luxury car over the weekend, the Twitter quips abounded.
“I wonder if Joel Osteen thinks he can drive that Ferrari through the eye of a needle,” said one user, alluding to Jesus’ statement in Matthew 19:24 that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
