I see God as my heavenly father, like my earthly father, as loving and kind. Yes, he disciplined me, he helped me make good decisions, but I knew my dad was always there for me. If I made a mistake, I wouldn't run from my dad, I'd go to him.

Joel OsteenIf 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.
Joel OsteenIf you develop an image of success, health, abundance, joy, peace, happiness, nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from you.
