coming everybody excited together
We don't have fans, we have friends. And when you look at them as friends, everybody (is) coming together for the same purpose, just getting excited about our faith.
faults labels sometimes
Very active in the label, maybe to a fault sometimes.
song jesus love-you
It's what I like to call the horizontal Jesus. Vertical Jesus are the songs that say 'Lord I love you, Lord I praise you, Lord I thank you' and horizontal is 'I'm in a situation. This is the problem. How can I apply that now horizontally?' There are more problems in the world because he's not being applied horizontally.
attitude people desire
Most people have desires that are great and they want to do great things, and they don't want to be negative people or they don't want to live in pessimistic attitudes, but the problem is a lot of them were not given the right tools. They were not given the right blueprint of how to build a building.
believe thinking walking-away
I believe that that's why you see all these Pew studies that come out that a lot of people are walking away from the faith. A lot of people are changing what they believe because they really feel lied to. I think that it's very important for people to know what they're signing up for.
taught
When I was taught truth, that's when I got my freedom.
jesus children real
The world is always waiting for someone to save the day, make things better. We've lost hope in politics, preachers. ... As a child of God, I just believe that Jesus is our hero, he is the one that came to save man's life, to save man's soul, to restore people back to themselves with a love that's real - an unconditional sacrificial love.
looks
You Look so much better When You Smile - so smile...
lying school thinking
Soul ties. The thing that can make you hear an old-school slow jam and think of somebody you haven’t seen in years. Soul ties. The thing that makes old people who’ve been together for years finish each other’s sentences. Don’t you wish mama had told you when you were young that, when you lie with someone, you lie not just with her body but also with her soul? And whatever condition the other person’s soul is in, you are guaranteed to take a piece with you—whether you want to or not. Instead of being amazed at her booty, you should have focused on her mind.
i-smile knowing-god knows
I know God is working so I smile!
rocks may shows
God may allow us at times to hit rock bottom, to show us He's the rock-at the bottom.

Having been raised by an aunt who set the CDF kind of example, I can truly say that this great organization already feels like family to me, and I look forward to doing all I can to amplify their message.
