I love the pursuit of songwriting, and I've seen what songs can do in people's lives. Some of the stories that come back from songs flying around the globe are so encouraging.

In the end, worship can never be a performance, something you're pretending or putting on. It's got to be an overflow of your heart...Worship is about getting personal with God, drawing close to God.

The heart of God loves a persevering worshipper who, though overwhelmed by many troubles, is overwhelmed even more by the beauty of God.

We can always find a reason to praise. Situations change for better and for worse, but God's worth never changes.

Praise is a contradiction of pride. Pride says 'looks at me,' but praise longs for people to see Jesus.

As we gaze upon the wonders of creations, we look up towards the heights of a God who is merciful in His ways and magnificent in His deeds. The life of worship always points us upwards.

Christian worship must contain both the cross and the crown. Sing of majesty, and sing of mercy.

God first seeks devotion to Him in the hidden place–worship when no one else is watching.

Worship songs can't just be rooted in culture - they won't be deep enough. They have to be rooted in scripture.

The revelation of God is the fuel for the fire of our worship

Information may inform the mind, but revelation sets a heart on fire.

I wonder if I'll ever have to decide which is worse, life as we're living or no life at all.

In appearance, the worldly life looks attractive, but once you enter into it, you can never become free.

Teach honesty by all means - you do know what it is, don't you?

I try to make two movies a year. To me, that's not too much. On top of that, I like to work.

Had I as many souls as there be stars, I'd give them all for Mephistopheles!

Funny how the last thing we want the world to see is almost the first thing to show.

there is no harm in being afraid. The only harm is in doing what Fear tells you. Fear is not your master! Laugh in his face and he will run away.

Memories are hunting horns whose sound dies on the wind.

Live now. When you are eating, eat. When you are loving, love. when you are talking with someone, talk. When you are looking at a flower, look. Catch the beauty of the moment!

The organization that can't communicate can't change, and the corporation that can't change is dead.
