“If we repeatedly read the Bible without the help of the Holy Spirit, it tends to reinforce our own prejudices and rock-hard doctrinal positions. We end up merely finding ammunition for what we already believe. We become so spiritually proud, so convinced of our own positions, that the Spirit is hindered in helping us to grow in the things of God.” IfsBelieveEndsHardGodHelpingChristianSpiritualSpiritFaithReadingBeliefGrowsReligiousLordRocksPositionProudBecomingHolyFindingsBiblePrejudiceConvincedChristian InspirationalDoctrineHoly SpiritPastorAmmunition Author:Jim Cymbala
“The number one metaphor I have in my mind for writing a screenplay is that...you're trying to climb a mountain blindfolded. And the funny thing about that is, you think, 'Okay, that's hard because you're climbing up a rock face, and you don't know where you're going, and you don't know where the top is, you can't see what's below you...'

“When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love- and what you love is usually what some other people have already done.

“I'm finding that people reading the book [The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star] are saying, "You came from one background, I came from this background - you were a rock star, I was a CEO.

“Everyone eventually winds up writing about themselves - the problem is finding the best way to go about it.

“Everything has become so pop-rock oriented that finding a role for a soprano, and finding an audience for a soprano, is tricky.

“When I first saw Destiny's Child, I was in the fifth grade, and it made me want to sing and make music and there would be these freestyles on the radio for what seemed like hours, it was just so cool to me. So all of these influences and these styles started to blend together. Eventually, that evolved into me finding the indie scene in Houston.
