I agree a lot of Christians have dropped the ball.
Not caping for him because I'm not sure if I fully trust the guy myself, but he doesn't make his money from the church. He doesn't have a salary and hasn't had one for a while. That money has gone to the community and church.
I don't have all the information other that one of my close friends who live in Houston (and this thread) but from what I've seen, the church wasn't able to be open at first because of logistics. It is now.
Why not focus energy elsewhere?

Joel Osteen's Church Now Open to Houston Evacuees in Wake of Harvey (UPDATE)
7:50 AM PT -- Pastor Osteen's church is now open for evacuees, and he says flooding inside the church is the reason for the delay.
A Lakewood Church rep tells us, "Lakewood’s doors are open now to anyone needing shelter. We are also coordinating with the city as a collection site for distributing supplies to area shelters. We are collecting diapers, baby formula, baby food and other supplies. Please bring these items to Lakewood Church, Circle Drive off Timmons St."
The rep also sent us photos of "initial flooding" within the church, and says this is "why we couldn't open initially."
Pastor Joel Osteen is taking serious heat for not turning his Houston megachurch into a shelter for thousands of displaced residents who have no place to go.
The Houston Lakewood Church has a capacity of almost 17,000 but it has not been open to evacuees since the storm hit.
That is why they believe they are superior to the common man.
