Has what you do for God become more important to you than the Lord Himself?

The God you worship will shape the values you hold, and the values you hold will shape the lifestyle that you choose.

Human life is created in God's image, and that makes it sacred.

Saint Augustine defined idolatry as worshiping what should be used or using what should be worshiped

The heart of the gospel is that Christ has come to save us from the judgment of God.

He is the Creator and the sustainer of all things. He is the unchanging, self-existent God, and that means that He depends on nobody. He is neither helped by our faith nor hindered by our unbelief.

If you can grasp those two truths—you are made in His image and dependent on Him—you will discover a great dignity and at the same time a profound humility.

Idolatry involves putting the things we love in the place of God or seeing God as a means of getting the things that we want, and that's the second great struggle of our lives.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.

They sell crap to buy you.

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

When faced with the inevitable fatigue that comes with the recycling of speeches and the recycling of thoughts in a rather small stream of vortex, I am urged to not be ashamed of recycling.

I have discipline, I look after my voice.

I do worry about young people in the business who have experienced a lot of success and are punted around doing those manic publicity trails, when you don't really know who you are yet.

We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.

Security in human systems we're told will always, always last. Emotions are the sail, and blind faith is the mast. Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast.

Never believe anyone who tells you that you don't deserve what you want.

Music has no race. It appeals to everybody.
