More quotes by Joel Osteen
In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we'd go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father's televised service for 17 years.

Whether a person is straight or gay, Republican, Democrat, good person, not a good person, they're all welcome, because to me, church is a place you're supposed to get healed and whole and loved.
Joel Osteen
You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.
Joel Osteen
It’s better to please God and have a few people upset with you than to please people and have God upset with you.
Joel Osteen
I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.
Joel Osteen
God's way is better than your way. His plan is bigger than your plan. His dream for your life is more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than you've ever dreamed of. Now stay open and let God do it His way.
Joel Osteen
You can’t talk mediocrity and expect to have victory. You are prophesying your future. If you want a shift to occur, you’ve got to think positive.
Joel Osteen
A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
Joel Osteen
Hold on to that new, enlarge vision of victory that God has given you. Start expecting things to change in your favor. Dare to boldly declare that you are standing strong against the forces of darkness.
Joel Osteen
I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.
Joel Osteen
Don’t talk about the way you are. Talk about the way you want to be.
Joel Osteen
When you honor God, the storms may come, but you have a promise that others don’t have: When it’s all said and done, you’ll still be standing. You may suffer a setback, but don’t get discouraged. If you’ll stay in faith, God promises that when the smoke clears, when the dust settles, you won’t be the victim, you’ll be the victor.
Joel Osteen
I'm not. I don't – I don't dislike anybody. Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world. But my faith is based on what I believe the scripture says, and that's the way I read the Scripture.
Joel Osteen
I just think that it's strong and it's important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about it's about the birth of our Savior, and there's a lot of pressure today to be politically correct ,but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.
Joel Osteen
Sometimes when you take strong stands, if you're not called to do it, you're dividing the audience you're trying to reach.
Joel Osteen
When we don’t forgive, we’re not hurting the other person. We’re not hurting the company that did us wrong. We’re not hurting God. We’re only hurting ourselves.
Joel Osteen
Truth is, no two people are completely compatible. We have to learn to become one. That means we may have to make sacrifices we may have to overlook some things. We must be willing to compromise for the good of the relationship.
Joel Osteen
You can't talk defeat and expect to have victory. You can't talk lack and expect to have abundance. You've got to send your words out in the direction you want your life to go.
Joel Osteen
We have to remember, when we forgive we're not doing it just for the other person, we're doing it for our own good. When we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we're doing is building walls of separation.
Joel Osteen
Our goal should be that we're going to live life to the fullest, pursuing our passions and dreams, and when it comes our time to go, we will have used as much of our potential as possible.
