Outside of Christ, my songs have no value

I'm fishing for men with a certain kind of bait, and the bait that I am offering is not a candy; it's a very specific thing that I'm offering, which is a deep gospel and a deep conversion.

Don't ask me for answers, I've only got one. That a man leaves the darkness, when he follows the Son.

Jesus got me through the slums without getting murdered. I just walked with him as though he were really there and not a spirit just floating around.

Only in a concert situation do I have access to people directly to preach to them, and I don't believe that the bigger your platform is, the more people will pay attention.

I'm always on the lookout for something good about people. Often months go by.

As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.

Serendipity is nice, but hoping for luck and the magic of happenstance shouldn't be an excuse for a lack of proactivity. I had to learn for myself that waiting isn't a life plan.

Is television literally functioning as our conscience, tempting us and rewarding us at the same time?

Everyone who pays taxes has blood on their hands.

You know when Jerry Ford gets the best joke, you know you're in trouble.

People don't really understand who I am. They always think that I'm very dark or depressed, but it couldn't be further from the truth!
