We are not saved because we're good. We're good because we're saved.

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

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.

A faith that moves mountains is a faith that expands horizons, it does not bring us into a smaller world full of easy answers, but into a larger one where there is room for wonder.

Jesus said whatever you do to the least of these my brothers you've done it to me. And this is what I've come to think. That if I want to identify fully with Jesus Christ, who I claim to be my Savior and Lord, the best way that I can do that is to identify with the poor. This I know will go against the teachings of all the popular evangelical preachers. But they're just wrong. They're not bad, they're just wrong. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken-hearted.

There is the music that we make, and the music that makes us.

I think I would envy me too, if I didn't know me better.
