There's pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don't get to know everybody, I don't get to go to their ballgame, I don't get to marry everybody, but the pros are you get all this community, 800 ushers come in to serve, getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.
Joel OsteenSlow down and enjoy the journey right now. Take time for the people in your life. They won't always be there.
Joel OsteenStop living worried & discouraged. You have a Protector, Deliverer & Dream-Giver. No weapon formed against you can prosper.
Joel OsteenMy belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.
Joel OsteenThere is a winner in you. You were created to be successful, to accomplish your goals, to leave your mark on this generation. You have greatness in you. The key is to get it out.
Joel OsteenYou may be at a crossroads in your life. You may have issues to deal with; people you need to forgive. You can go one of the two ways. You can ignore what you now know to be true and keep burying that bitterness in your life, pushing it deeper and allowing it to poison and contaminate you and those around you. Or you can make a much better choice by getting it out in the open and asking God to help you to totally forgive and let it all go.
