That's prayer to let God's Word speak deep within you and tell you, "You are my beloved. You don't have to take an eye for an eye. No, no you're too rich for that."

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

Accessible music is much harder. I could throw out the other kind of albums with my eyes closed. I wouldn't belittle those who want to do the Tricky thing, but it does make me wonder sometimes.

Whether you are a business leader or political leader, you need people around you who are prepared to tell the truth.
