It's all that pretending to be perfect that breeds inauthenticity in the church.

I hope I would leave a legacy of joy -a legacy of real compassion.

You will never understand what you're doin'. But God does.

Good taste has everything to do with being cultured and being refined, and if art has to do with anything, it has to do with being human.

If you've ever known the love of God, you know it's nothing but reckless and it's nothing but raging. Sometimes it hurts to be loved, and if it doesn't hurt it's probably not love, may be infatuation. I think a lot of American people are infatuated with God, but we don't really love Him, and they don't really let Him love them. Being loved by God is one of the most painful things in the world, it's also the only thing that can bring us salvation and it's like everything else that is really wonderful, there's a little bit of pain in it, little bit of hurt.

Let people see your struggles and don't ever fake it.

Joshua made the sun stand still in the sky, but I can't keep these thoughts of You from passing by.
