“Michael Harris opens the doors and gently guides you into a magic world. Once inside, you can't help but feel mesmerized, eager to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

“the word 'justification' has itself had a chequered career over the course of many centuries of debate. As the major historian of the doctrine has noted, the word has long since ceased to mean, in ecclesial debates, what it meant for Paul himself - which is confusing, since the debates have gone on referring to Paul as though he was in fact talking about what they want to talk about. It is as though the greengrocer treated you to a long discussion of how onions are grown, and how best to cook with them, when what you had asked was how much he would charge for three of them.” WantMeanLongFactsThreeCoursesTalkingCareersGoneCenturyMajorsDebateDoctrineTreatedCooksDiscussionHistorianJustificationConfusingReferringOnions Author:N.

“The thing about being on the majors, from the beginning, going into this, I was like, "I'm not going to be treated like a factory," because that's never the way it was done before. You're talking about a major label, we're talking about serious business; you're not an artist anymore, you're a business, you have to work in terms of product, you have to release a product, and I don't really think that way at all.” ThinkingWayDoneArtistTermTalkingSeriousProductsMajorsTreatedReleaseLabelsFactoriesSerious Business Author:Beth Ditto
“I'm less interested in uniqueness than in goodness. I see so many concerts where the program notes are more interesting than the music.

“When I had something I thought God was talking to me about, the first thing I did, before I ever talked to the congregation, was to sit down with the major influencers of the church and share with them what I thought God was speaking to me. I gave them time for input or questions. Many times they would ask questions and I would reply, "I need to spend more time on this. I'm not sure I'm thinking clearly there." Other times they added value and helped make this vision better or more accessible to the people.” PeopleThinkingNeedsFirstsValuesAsksChurchTalkingVisionShareMajorsNot SureMore TimeInputCongregationAdded ValueThinking Clearly Author:John C.
