Steve Lawson Quotations

Hal Rogers is just incredible, ... When you get someone like that on your side, you can't hardly tell him 'no.' He knows where the pockets of money are in Washington, all of 'em, and how to spend it.

You hear I'm supposed to be for or against a lot of stuff I don't give a damn about, ... Look, if it doesn't have to do with the Highway Department, I probably don't care.

We've probably gotten 40 percent of all of the road money in Eastern Kentucky since the 1970s, which is significant, but it isn't everything. There are a lot of governors and other politicians who wouldn't give Eastern Kentucky the time of day if it weren't for their wanting dad's support.

Fletcher didn't have to be talked into doing what he did for Pine Mountain, ... He did it because it was the right thing to do.

It's all about hauling distances, ... It's like your grocery stores. Do you go to the one in Lexington if you live in Pikeville?

It's gotten to the point where the general population expects it.

The big piece out here is human intelligence, and we don't have any. We don't have a connection to local leaders, and we've never been able to bridge the gap with them.

I pushed them back out the door to finish the mission, ... They did it, but they were crying as they pushed on.

I do what I do 100 percent, ... If I'm for you, I'm for you. And if I'm against you, I'm against you.

The extent of the atonement is defined by the intent of the atonement.

Symmetria by the Uccello Project is a gorgeous, instrumental and largely unclassifiable record. Best thought of as 'cinematic', each of the tracks conjures up a range of emotions and images, taking the listener on a beautiful journey. The layers of basses, guitars and percussion ebb and flow, drawing on jazz, folk, blues and African music, blending all the elements into one lovely album. Recommended.

The demands of following Christ will cost you everything. But you gain far more than you give up. You give up dirt for diamonds.

We must trust God, not only WHEN we do not understand, but BECAUSE we do not understand.

God promises to meet our needs, not our greeds.

Truth is never determined by majority opinion, but by divine revelation.

There is a kind of preaching that God blesses, specifically the proclamation that exalts the crucified Christ by the power of the Spirit. Conversely, there is a kind of preaching that God does not bless, a mere echoing of man’s empty wisdom that is devoid of Christ.

The free will is a pagan goddess that the Church has worshipped for far too long.

When God measures a church, He begins with its depth not its breadth, with its substance not its style.

If you please God, it does not matter whom you displease. And if you displease Him, it does not matter whom you please.

Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty.

We're not just dogmatic about this-we're bulldog-matic! Sola Scriptura is non-negotiable!

This book (the Bible) is not hard to understand. It's just hard to swallow.
