The heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.

My sin in the past: forgiven. My current struggles: covered. My future failures: paid in full all by the marvelous, infinite, matchless grace found in the atoning work of the cross of Jesus Christ.

God is awesome; he doesn’t need you to be awesome. He wants you to be obedient.

Love says: I've seen the ugly parts of you, and I'm staying. Our culture doesn't love love; It loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without the sacrifice.

Faith doesn’t mean an absence of fear. It means facing fear and trusting that God’s goodness is greater.

God does not regret saving you. There is no sin which you commit which is beyond the cross of Christ.

The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant, and let the air out of the tires.

Politics is not about big money or power games

Best friends are made are made through smiles and tears, and sometimes that fades away through miles and years.

The first music I was exposed to was Stravinsky and I loved it but I don't remember it.

Singing is my dream and, while it may have not been a commercial success, critically I was thrilled with the reception my first album got.

As unhealthy as I am, I'm weirdly aware of exactly how my body functions.

Unless saved by exceptional talent, he necessarily pays the price of clarity.

I like people who are powerful, confident, and fearless. Balmain is about an attitude. I think if Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor were alive, they would definitely be part of the Balmain crew.

I don't like technology and all that. I'm a farm boy. I would rather live in that time when you had to provide for your family. I don't know. I'm a country kid, so I don't like modern technology.
