“Too much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion. I am thinking not only of the ministry of reproof and rebuke but also of the message of inspiration, of encouragement, of comfort. People go out of church at noon with the depths unstirred, the heart untouched, the conscience unpricked.” PeopleThinkingHeartDoeInspirationChristianChurchToo MuchComfortMessagesConscienceSkinsEarsEncouragementDepthConvictionChristian InspirationalConversionMinistryPreachingNoonRebukeReproof Author:Vance Havner
“If you are engaging rationality, you are already engaging a place that makes you unavailable.

“To me, music and songwriting is... part of the intriguing thing is the creative process; you know, the creative thought process. Relying on that... there is some sort of inspiration there and you can't always put your finger on where it comes from. So, it's always been important for me to have my own thing and, even though I'm inspired by and influenced by many different musicians and styles of music, I was very determined early on to have my own thing. So when I sit down to write I don't necessarily have a particular narrative or message in mind.
