Life's too short to spend it trying to keep others happy. You can't please everyone. To fulfill your destiny, stay true to your heart.

Don't use your words to describe the situation. Use your words to change the situation.

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.'

The truth is, somebody is always talking about you, so you have to let it go... if it's not a part of your God-given destiny.

I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.

When you give up yourself, that's when you will feel the true spirit of Christmas. And that's giving that's serving others and that's when you feel fulfilled.

We were old sinners - but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.
