Healing rain is a real touch from God. It could be physical healing or emotional or whatever.
Michael W. Smith
Transformation in the world happens when people are healed and start investing in other people.
Love wasn't put in your heart to stay. Love isn't love until you give it away.
We've probably never met, but I wish we had.
Just look at the Old Testament. They didn't go out with the army first. They sent the musicians out.
I think if the church did what they were supposed to do we wouldn't have anyone sleeping on the streets.
God deserves the best from us.
I sang at the Inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral.
I think it all comes down to relationships - how I treat my wife, how I treat my kids, how I treat the guys at the grocery store, all aspects of every day, what I'm involved in.
I believe people are afraid to be still because we're used to being stimulated.
I, on the other hand, have a bit of a southern accent.
Some of the most powerful times are when we're quiet.
I think The Big Picture was such a huge shift from my second record.
But I know God has big stuff planned that ultimately doesn't have anything to do with me.
Really, I could care less if there's a Second Decade record.
There are a lot of bad worship songs, in my opinion, but there are a lot of good ones, too.
I think one of my greatest gifts is leading worship.
Even though we were all celebrities to a certain extent, we all looked at each other as family.
This fall I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm starring in a film, an independent film.
It's really interesting to go back to '93 or '94 and listen to that music, like the I'll Lead You Home record.
Doing the instrumental thing, you're really looking for the power of the melody to carry the record.
I'm learning, but I'm getting better at it because I'm learning how to hear God in worship.
Not everyone can lead worship.
In terms of worship, I think we ought to have the right people leading.
Things change when you give your life to serving God, and that can be scary.
We were engaged three-and-a-half weeks after the first date.
For some reason, and for a time such as this, God has given me favor with kings and princes.
I sure love Ireland. The first trip I ever made was last year when I did this record in Dublin.
I think there's a passion for God like never before.
I think worship is a lifestyle, first of all.
I've been there and done all that, sold millions of records, and that doesn't bring you peace.
I've explored the worship side, the pop side, and the film scoring side of me.
I've said to others that there were places I had forgotten about that were just so powerful. I've read the Gospels many times, but it's been a while since I've read through a whole book.
