Joel Osteen

I’m not for gay marriage, but I’m not for discriminating against people.

Joel Osteen

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.

Joel Osteen

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

Joel Osteen

I’ve always been very happy. I’ve always been easy going and I’ve always been very encouraging; it’s just my personality.

Joel Osteen

If it’s not meeting a need, turn it into a seed. Remember, we will reap what we sow. When you do good for other people, that’s when God is going to make sure that His abundant blessings overtake you.

Joel Osteen

If people talk about you, being jealous, critical, and trying to make you look bad, don’t let that change you. You don’t need their approval when you have God’s approval.

Joel Osteen

If we will do our part and take a strong stand for our families, God will do His part. He’ll help us to have great marriages and great relationships with our parents and children.

Joel Osteen

If what others say doesn’t match what God has put in your heart, let it go in one ear and out the other.

Joel Osteen

If you can be a blessing to somebody else, you’re sowing a seed for God to help you.

Joel Osteen

If you don’t have the gift of a loving supportive family, be that gift for someone else. It doesn’t have to be a relative, just someone you know who is alone or hurting over the holiday.
