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:

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same.
