It's not the job of government to help the poor. The church is the mechanism that God put on earth to help the poor.

Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.

And I believe what I believe / Is what makes me what I am / I did not make it, no it is making me / It is the very truth of God and not / The invention of any man.

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

I am a Christian, not because someone explained the nuts and bolts of Christianity, but because there were people willing to be nuts and bolts.

Look at us all - we are all of us lost and in all of our different ways of pretending, we all fool ourselves into the very same hell. Look at the cross - we are all of us loved and one God meets us all at the point of our common need and brings to all of us - all who will let Him - salvation.

I think a lot of parents hand people over a blueprint and say, This is how youre supposed to do it. And my parents, I think, kind of drew a picture and said, Heres the good stuff in life. How do you get there?

I take comfort in knowing that it was the shepherds to whom the angels appeared when they announced Christ's birth. Invariably throughout the course of history, God has appeared to people on the fringes. It's nice to find theological justification for your quirks.

There's people been friendly But they'd never be your friends Sometimes this has bent me to the ground

If you’re really looking for answers, look past me. But if you’re interested in how I got to where I am, I will be as honest as possible.

We just can't love without God. God wants for us want we want for ourselves. These basic things are not that hard to grasp. We just have to have faith, and faith is a gift. We just need to accept it.

Faith without works is like a song you can't sing. It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine.

The biggest problem with life is that it's just daily.

After you're dead [...] it's not gonna matter if you have a few scars. It will matter if you didn't live.

The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa- for he has so much to look forward to.

Theres a wideness in Gods mercy I cannot find in my own And He keeps His fire burning To melt this heart of stone Keeps me aching with a yearning Keeps me glad to have been caught In the reckless raging fury That they call the love of God

I dont know that the United States is Gods Country, but the church has been so strong here, and because of its influence, we hold life to be sacred and we believe that individuals have dignity. This is part of our legacy.

I grew up hearing everyone tell me 'God loves you'. I would say big deal, God loves everybody. That don't make me special! That just proves that God ain't got no taste. And, I don't think He does. Thank God! Because He takes the junk of our lives and makes the most beautiful art.

God is a wild man...should you encounter him...hang on for dear life-or let go for dear life is a better way to say it.
