Mexican troops saved American lives after Katrina. Would Trump let them do it after Harvey?

The devastation wrought by Hurricane Harvey is already apparent, even though forecasters say the storm may be only half done dumping rainfall totals measured in feet over the Texas and Louisiana coasts. In possibly the most starkly worded National Weather Service announcement imaginable, the agency said Sunday that “this event is unprecedented” and “beyond anything experienced.”

Hurricane Harvey causes catastrophic flooding in Texas

For many Americans, Harvey is bringing back memories of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Nearly 2,000 people died in the aftermath of that storm. The U.S. government and Federal Emergency Management Agency's response to Katrina was widely criticized, but Americans came together to offer housing, clothing, meals and monetary help to the affected. President George W. Bush even accepted a huge offer of aid from Mexico.
The aid Mexico sent was no small thing — it was an extraordinary gesture, and it may have saved many lives. Marking the first time that Mexican troops had set foot on U.S. soil since the Mexican-American War in 1846, President Vicente Fox sent an army convoy and a naval vessel laden with food, water and medicine. By the end of their three-week operation in Louisiana and Mississippi, the Mexicans had served 170,000 meals, helped distribute more than 184,000 tons of supplies and conducted more than 500 medical consultations.

Just read this.....
This is his "church"Mega Pastor Joel Osteen is offering the people of Houston nothing more than his prayers as Hurricane Harvey wreaks havoc in the town where his successful church is located.
While people mere blocks away from Lakewood Church, 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.
And his mansion

^ Joel opens those doors he doesn't have a church, tv show or anything else after that.. Joel should open the doors though.. Question is does he own the building and church or does he lease it, is he really in charge of the property in other words?
I actually like listening to his sermons as he's more of a motivational speaker more then anything else.. Very positive..
I'm disappointed with his out reach to help others though for sure if that's true..
A true man of God helps people in need especially in cases like this..

BUT, That entire area is under water. The parking garage is totally flooded. You couldn't get to the church if you wanted to. Whoever is putting out this information is fake.Comment -

That guy is the biggest fake ever. Real church people do not live lives of excess. He is only in it for the money. And he is a creepy looking guy as well.Originally posted by JIBBBYComment -
Are you kidding me? Where in the bible do you read that you should be broke? Or that you should not have wealth? How can you be broke if you believe in God? How can you convince men to live a Godly life if you are struggling? Osteen preaches prosperity because the bible says it as well. He is not a fire and brimstone preacher. He preaches good news. Now, I like to hear a more balanced message but he obviously attracts a lot of people.Originally posted by themike78
Osteen is worth $50 million. TD Jakes is worth $150 million. What's your point?
There has always been wealthy people in the bible.
Abraham
Through a personal relationship with Jesus, according to Galatians 3:14, Jesus made the blessings of Abraham available to anyone that will have them. Abraham was an extremly rich, successful and prosperous man!And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. â€" Genesis 13:2
And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses. â€" Genesis 24:35
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. - Isaiah 51:2Isaac
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. â€" Genesis 26:12-14Jacob
And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. â€" Genesis 36:6-7David
And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. - 1 Chronicles 29:28
King David stated, I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread [Psalms 37:25]. The LORD knows the days of the upright; and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. The NLT reads, "they will survive through hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough [Psalms 37:18-19, Proverbs 10:3].SolomonAnd King Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. - 2 Chronicles 9:22Jehoshaphat
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. â€" 2 Chronicles 17:5Hezekiah
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels; Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks. - 2 Chronicles 32:26-28Joseph of Arimathaea, a disciple of Jesus
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. - Matthew 27:57

^^^Yep, Joel is all about the money, worldly things and personal possessions I agree, he preaches about getting the wants of worldly things through deeds in almost every sermon he preaches which is off base IMO.... Probably why his congregations are the largest in the world because he talks about getting the material things in life more then anything else..
Like I said he's a motivational speaker more then anything else.. God works thru him though I'm sure even if he is a fraud.. He's got one foot in the door and one foot out IMO when it comes to being a Christian man..
Is he a fraud only God knows? People should not look at the man but look towards God..Comment -
He is not a fraud. He is genuinely a good guy. Not a bad bone in his body. But he is all motivation. He doesn't really know the bible. He is not a biblical scholar. He use to play basketball at the Post Oak ymca. He was always in good shape and hustles his ass off, non stop. You will never, ever see him get upset on the basketball court. I've seen baptist ministers curse playing basketball. The guy will just sit down, smile and get back up to play but never get mad if he missed a shot or did something wrong. I have never seen anyone not get heated playing ball. That tells you a lot. When his dad died he had to take over the ministry. He didn't want it originally but had to do it. He's a music techie/engineer. His passion is sound and video.Originally posted by JIBBBY
I go to his church from time to time. Their song ministry is one of the best anywhere. Superstar singers perform at his church each week. That alone is worth the price of admission. But Joel is not going to challenge you, he's not going to tell you you're going to hell or you're not living right (which I think a minister should at times). But who am I to judge? You will leave his church happy and isn't that worth something?
Now his wife? She's a hot head. lolComment -
I've listened to about 50 of his sermons in my life time.. Positive motivational speaker is the word that comes to mind for Joel.. Yep you probably will feel good coming out of his church, it's a light weight form of preaching... He preaches to the masses for sure..Originally posted by Mac4LyfeComment -
It's like this - when you go up to a girl that you never met and ask her out, SHE SAY'S NO, gives you a dirty look and you get rejected..
Positive way to look at it - Celebrate and think with every NO you are getting that much closer to a YES.. Get fired up and excited then to ask the next girl out and with a smile..
Negative way to look at it - I feel ugly and rejected.. I hate women now they all suck.. Next girl I ask out I'm gonna insult if she says NO.....
Mental projection is everything in life, best to pull a positive out of every negative situation.. Like this hurricane for example - one survivor said we lost everything but we didn't lose our lives or a single family member.. We will find a way to rebuild he said and he seemed grateful and ok about it all. Others ruined and crying because they lost everything, end of the world for them thinking..

It is very light weight but millennials eat it up. Far be it for me to criticize a guy that is extremely successful at what he's doing. He doesn't even take a salary at the church because he makes millions from selling books.Originally posted by JIBBBYComment -
Every time a disaster happens people say they're praying....yet disasters keep happening.Originally posted by Chi_archie
When are people going to realize God isn't real and praying doesn't do anything?
Why not just pray for no more hurricanes?
If you want to make a difference, donate money or go help. Don't pray to whatever religions God you prescribe to.Comment -
