Even though I have never met the man, Joel Osteen has been a great teacher to me through his words and broadcasts.
I am blessed to recieve daily emails from him. For the second time since I have started the blog his message speaks so loudly and perfectly to me I have to share it with everyone who reads the blog.
It's Your Time
Today's Scripture
“The vision is yet for an appointed time..." (Habakkuk 2:3).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
God has planted seeds of greatness on the inside of you, and He has predestined that those things in your heart come to pass. You may have had more than your share of unfair things happen in your life. You probably have plenty of reasons to just settle where you are. But understand, the depth of your past is an indication of the height of your future.
If you’ve been through a lot of negative things in the past, it just means that your future is bigger and brighter and greater than you can even imagine. It’s your time to step out and embrace all that God has for you! Are there dreams and promises that you’ve let go of? Are there things that God has placed in your heart, but because of time, because of disappointments, you’ve given up on them?
Today is the day to give your dreams a new beginning. Today is the day to allow faith to rise in your heart. Remember, what’s happened to you is not nearly as important as what’s happened in you, and you are stronger and wiser than ever before. It’s your time; it’s your season to move forward into the destiny that God has prepared for you!
A special thank you to the Osteens.
Thanks for reading
Chris

the real problem with Joel Osteen's message is not so much in what he is saying, but what he is not saying. That is, his falseness is detected by he does not say rather than by what he says. Joel does not talk about faith in Jesus. He talks about faith. Joel does not speak of repentance. He speaks of change. Joel does not speak of the cross as man's only hope for the problem of sin. Joel does not speak of sin as man's ultimate problem. Joel does not teach the cross as a way of life. Jesus said "deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow me." Joel says "believe in yourself."
The majority of Christians today do not seem to be able to detect the problem of a man who says the right (good) things, but leaves out the vital things.
The most dangerous teacher of all is the one who does not emphasize the right things. This is Joel Osteen.
