Pretty cool, eh?
My favorite artist Derek Webb and his wife (also an amazing singer/songwriter) Sandra McCracken give me a shout out. Thanks Melissa Q.
While I'm at it, some great Derek Webb quotes. Man, he gets the Gospel.
"There can be nothing added, nor anything taken away from the perfect salvation we have in Jesus. We cannot add our best intentions, most righteous deeds, or even tears over our own sin, all we have is Jesus, and without Him we have nothing".
"The Christian Life is not about sinning less, but about repenting more."
"David Dickson, who was asked on his deathbed how it was with his soul. His response: 'I have taken my good deeds and my bad deeds and thrown them together in a heap. Then I have fled from both of them to Christ, and in Him I have peace.'"
“Better to be known first as a good artist than as a ‘Christian’ artist, as your good art can lend credibility to your witness while explicit art done poorly is more likely to disparage your witness.”
“As we struggle to remain both relevant and faithful to the world that we’re called to love and engage, we, especially as Christian artists in the church, must lose our preoccupation and concern with trying to get songs on the radio, following industry trends and huge quarterly sales and start learning how to simply make good art.”
"There are two great lies that i’ve heard:
“the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely die”
and that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican
and if you wanna be saved you have to learn to be like Him." (King and a Kingdom)
"I am a whore i do confess
but i put you on just like a wedding dress and i run down the aisle; i’m a prodigal with no way home but i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the aisle to you" (Wedding Dress)
