Your destiny is not determined by your critics. Focus on running your own race.

Act like you're blessed. Talk like you're blessed. Walk like you're blessed. Put actions behind your faith, and one day you will see it become a reality.

If Jesus were here today, he wouldn't be riding around on a donkey. He'd be taking a plane, he'd be using the media.

I don't argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus' message was simple.

If you will transform your mind, God will transform your life.

I'm not a big believer in trying to jam stuff down somebody's throat: 'You're going to do it my way.' I'd rather show by example and live my life and have people say, 'You know what, I want to live like Joel has. He's got peace and joy, and he seems content.'

Many times, we miss out on God's best because we give up too soon. We don't realize how close we are to victory.
