who donate, not people who are seeking help. It is the Christian way in a lot of these churches like Osteens. Now that he has shown his true colors, will his flock still support him?

From Snopes:
Only 60 of 1,566 Churches in Houston Opened to Help Hurricane Harvey Victims?
Aug 31st, 2017 A meme claiming that only 4 percent of churches in Houston opened their doors to Hurricane Harvey victims appears to have originated on a satirical Facebook page and was not based on any legitimate statistics.

(For one thing, many churches were flooded or damaged or lacked food & drinkable water themselves.)

Perhaps it's time to rethink the tax dodge for churches that become involved in politics.
