A lot of churches have not moved with the times.
Joel Osteen

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.

All churches and all religions contain aspects of the truth, but only God is truth.
Pat Buckley

All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.

John Nelson Darby
