“Bob Dylan and John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen, these are soul guys. Bruce Springsteen might not sing like Otis Redding, but he sings with white soul. He's singing and he's writing songs from the bottom of his gut.” WritingSoulMightGuySongWhiteSingingBottomGutsBobDylanWriting SongsLennonSpringsteen Author:Robin Thicke
“It seems to me absolutely true, that our world, which appears to us the surface of all things, is really the bottom of a deep ocean: all our trees are submarine growths, and we are weird, scaly-clad submarine fauna, feeding ourselves on offal like shrimps. Only occasionally the soul rises gasping through the fathomless fathoms under which we live, far up to the surface of the ether, where there is true air.” WorldSoulSeemsGrowthAirTreeOceanAll ThingsBottomSurfaceOur WorldFeedingFathomSubmarinesShrimpDeep OceanOffal Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.

“In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.” IfsMenWantHeartLittlesSoulTodayChristianSpiritualChristDyingPrideKingsWeaknessShadowCrossesRemainsBottomRefuseBelieverSavedKingdomsCrownsThronesDoomWorldlinessTinselBacksliding Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
