became bible bob christian dylan larry people secular tease
Well people used to tease me and say, 'Oh, you're a Christian Bob Dylan'. And then when Dylan became a Christian in my Bible study, they'd say to him, 'Oh you're a secular Larry Norman.'
needs broke-up said
The Beatles said 'all you need is love,' then they broke up.
writing unseen results
I know I stand visibly onstage, but my function is still unseen, because I rarely see the immediate results of what I am saying or doing or writing.
song biblical blood
Gospel songs to me are about the mansion in the sky, and washed in the blood of Christ's crimson blood, songs that are filled with biblical wording that's no longer understood by a lot of people.
christian humanity growth
Christians don't seem to be as aware of, or as sensitive to, the dire state of humanity as they are about the pleasant growth of their Christian walk.
sadness simple vacation
Look deep inside, and when you locate the sadness, give it a vacation, and focus on the simple things.
christian industry felt
I never felt part of the Christian industry.
christian giving feelings
I don't live my life as a Christian with trepidation, feeling that perhaps I've failed to give the best gospel possible on each occasion, but realising that God's taking care of a lot through his Holy Spirit.
jesus church world
I love God and I follow Jesus but I just don't have much affinity for the organized folderol of the churches in the Western World.
believe people attention
Only in a concert situation do I have access to people directly to preach to them, and I don't believe that the bigger your platform is, the more people will pay attention.
stars perfect weakness
I don't see the point in being a star - it takes a lot of energy to carry yourself off as being more perfect than somebody else. I'd rather just be available with all my weaknesses.
christian radio copies
I never sent promotional copies to Christian radio stations in my life. It's not what I'm interested in.
christian subculture music-is
I feel that Christian music is a subculture directed towards the Christians. It's not really being exposed to non-Christians and it's not really created for non-Christians, so non-Christians almost never hear any of this music.
hair jeans long
The churches weren't going to accept me looking like a street person with long hair and faded jeans. They did not like the music I was recording. And I had no desire to preach the gospel to the converted.
