There's a belief that you're supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don't see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.
From Joel Osteen
It's flattering to people who stop you and say that you've helped them and all. But, again, you know, you've got to stay humble because as quick as you came up, you can come down.
When I used to play sports, I'd be the one cheering the team on, 'Come on, we can beat these guys!' That's just in me.
I believe that God's dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don't mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you're planted. But I don't have the mindset that money is a bad thing.
You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.
My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.
It seems like when I was growing up there was more compromise, wanting to work with each other, and I think all of them - all of the lawmakers - have hearts to do what's right, and they all are passionate about it.
Don't grow accustomed to living with less, doing less, and being less to the point that you eventually sit back and accept it.
You're not better than anybody else, but you're not less than anybody else. You're a child of the Most High God.
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.
