“We can preach the Gospel all day long, but that won't win souls. That won't win the hearts of the people. We can talk, try to theorize, theologize, reason, argue, debate, and spend time trying to prove that Jesus lived, but that won't win a heart. How often do we see the religious mindset that believes that the more Scripture quoting, the more yelling, the more hell fire and brimstone preaching, the greater the chance to win someone over for the Kingdom? Likewise, how often do we see people sitting or standing there listening in stone-cold silence or indifference?” PeopleTryingBelieveHeartLongSoulReasonJesusWinningReligiousChanceSilenceHellFireGreaterListeningColdProveSittingStandingStonesMindsetArguingDebateScriptureKingdomsIndifferencePreachingEnd TimesSpend TimeYellingStanding ThereQuotingHell FireStone Cold Book:Kingdom Rising: Making the Kingdom Real in Your Life Source: Kingdom Rising: Making the Kingdom Real in Your Life
“It's always best not to be thinking a hell of a lot while you're acting, because you want it to be as spontaneous as possible, not too intellectual.

“I'm not one for sitting around listening to my own music, because I tend to cringe and think that I could have done better. I also suffer from red light syndrome quite a lot. I tend to narrow my thinking when the red light goes on to record. Instead of just relaxing and playing and emoting, I think of time being wasted so I won't take a chance on something. Consequently, when I hear it back, I think, "Why the hell did I play it so safe on that piece of music when I could have really opened up?" Well, it's because of not wanting to make a mistake.” ThinkingDoneSufferingChanceMistakeHellListeningMusic IsTake A Chance Author:Ritchie Blackmore

“The obsession with food filled my childhood - that's what happens when your parents are from a place or time where people really might starve. In America, my Jordanian father spent decades cooking professionally and pursuing his dream of a restaurant, and it was one of the central ways that he explained himself to his American children. Even though he's a passionate talker, he has a hell of a time with listening. His cooking gave him a way of having a conversation - which was a really interesting thing for a writer to look at.” PeopleChildrenDreamFatherParentInterestingHellChildhoodListeningCookingPassionateObsessionReally Interesting Author:Diana Abu-Jaber
