Quotes
There is a huge difference between propaganda and 'art'. There's something about art that says, "look i'm telling the truth as i see it", and the truth today, might not be pretty...but there's this beautiful beautiful honesty about art... And when you're honest about the ugliness of life, that's a beautiful thing. It's strange, its paradoxical, but when you try to make everything 'pretty', it ends up seeming really cheap...How can we let ourselves be people of the God of truth and rediscover truthfulness and honesty about our relationship with God? God can handle it, sometimes we can't, but we'll all be a lot better off if we can. So if its a song, if its painting, if its architecture, if its film, thats really reaching for the truth — that's where i think we really experience God...But if we're trying to market God like he's an infomercial - it makes God seem less real. - Brian McLaren We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve a, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. Stories wait for endings, but songs are brave things bold enough to sing when all they know is darkness.
