<h2>Joel Osteen Offers Nothing In The Wake Of Harvey But Prayers</h2>
<p>Mega Pastor <a href="http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/houston-needs-you-social-media-rains-scorn-on-joel-osteen-for-closing-megachurch-after-hurricane/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Joel Osteen</strong></a> is offering the people of Houston nothing more than his prayers as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/us/hurricane-harvey-texas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hurricane Harvey</strong></a> wreaks havoc in the town where his successful church is located.</p>
<p>While people mere blocks away from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakewood_Church" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lakewood Church</strong></a>, which reportedly can house more than 16,000 people and have 52,000 attendees, are losing their shelter due to the flood waters, Joel Osteen is keeping the doors locked. Instead, Joel Osteen tweeted out a promise of prayer, in a time when a roof, dry clothes, food and clean water would be more helpful.</p><div class='rpsect rpsect-10' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; clear: both;'>
