One study says that 90 percent of our everyday behavior is based on our habits. . . That means how we treat people, how we spend our money, what we watch, what we listen to - 90 percent of the time, we're on autopilot. We do what we've always done.
Joel OsteenDon't use your faith to try to get rid of problems. Use your faith to remain calm in the midst of your problems.
Joel OsteenI do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.
Joel OsteenGod never promised that we wouldnโt have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, โBe truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pureโฆโ so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of His return.
