Jumping Over the Stumblingblock

If you missed it, here's an interview with Joel Osteen and counterpoint by Dr. Horton. Ya know, I don't care if the guy preaches to more people than God, shouldn't we at least balk a little when he says, "There's a lot better people qualified to say, 'Here's a book that's going to explain the Scriptures to you'." If you're not qualified to explain the Scriptures, Joel, then how are you qualified to be a PASTOR?!?!?

"I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." (2 Tim. 4:1-2, NASB)

So, just how does that compare to Joel's comments?
