Quote of the Day

People listen to a lot of contemporary christian music, but sometimes I really don't get why. Cause' I play it, and I know there's not a lot to most of it. Sometimes it concerns me the number of people who can quote my songs or they can quote the songs of several different people but can't quote the scriptures. As if anything a musician might have to say might be worth listening to really: I mean what musicians do is put together chords, and rhythms, and melodies. So if you want entertainment I suggest Christian entertainment, cause I think it's good. But if you want spiritual nourishment I suggest you go to church or read your bible or something and let this [music] entertain you; but look beyond this for what you really need in life.

Some people get moved through music and you gotta accept that.

Not denying that. The problem he's talking about is people are replacing religion with entertainment but assuming they're the same thing.
