Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.

When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

At a certain point, I just felt, you know, God is not looking for alms, God is looking for action.

You see, idealism detached from action is just a dream. But idealism allied with pragmatism, with rolling up your sleeves and making the world bend a bit, is very exciting. It's very real. It's very strong.

God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.

I truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did - or did not do - to put the fire out in Africa. History, like God, is watching what we do.

Celebrity is ridiculous and silly and it's mad that people like me are listened to - you know, rap stars and movie stars.
