Joel Osteen

I used to watch God TV for the sermons of TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer and one more person (I forgot) in my college days. Of course, that was no youtube time. Though I trust God, I am not a religious person, neither I wish to hear any religious talks. I used to listen to these people for just one single reason: The energy that showers with the things they wanted to say. Now, after many years, I wanted to listen to them again – again with no intention of getting the religious content. But then, I have forgotten their names. I vividly getting the picture of them but that is not sufficient for finding something on the internet. I googled it with random search texts like "Christian Sermons" and quickly found Joyce Meyer and TD Jakes. I couldn't get the name of the third person, though I vaguely remember that his name has "d" and "f" and there is "ff" or "lo" sound somewhere (Any help from you?). But what I found on this search and feeling gifted is Joel Osteen.



His sermons are extremely simple. He picks something and speaks it as a short message. The language is simple, message is clear, jokes in between and most of all, always positive and purely motivational. He doesn't speak of negative things. There is no "God will punish...", it is always "God will give...". There is very little quotes from the Bible. I think this is one of the most differentiating factor from other Christian speakers.

Here is the forgotten one:

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
