Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.

The people at the record company had asked me if I could write a song about my life my relationship with God and where I'm from. Well I can't write a song on purpose my songs come in a moment of inspiration or desperation.

Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person place and event - serves a very special if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.

It can have a secular purpose and have a relationship to God because God was presumed to be both over the state and the church and separation of church and state was never meant to separate God from government.

The Bible is the only credible guide either as to the real relationship between man and the earth and the great Creator of both or concerning the purpose of the creation of both.

When I'm working I'm very purposeful and everything else gets out of focus. Something I've had to work on together with my wife is how to acknowledge each other in the midst of this and keep the relationship going.

It is not our purpose to become each other it is to recognize each other to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.

I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.
