I believe very confidently in the truth of Scripture, where it says that there is no authority, no power given to man except as given by God.

This is life weve been given, made to be lived out, so... live out loud.

There's nothing like a good cheating song to make me want to run home to be with my wife.

When I go to Africa and spend more time there with people who are the least of the least, those in desperate situations, I am broken by it. But I also find people with so much more joy and freedom living with nothing than I see walking down the streets of my own community here in Tennessee.

I don't see the big picture. I don't have a clue. But I know God does. I'm going to declare that, even if I don't feel it right now.

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.

I've been here 21 years, and I literally did walk up and down Music Row trying to break into the business. I felt very free to go into any publishing company.
