I always felt God had called me to serve within the church because of what the church stands for. This has always been home.

I cannot fail to call the congregation to worship God, to listen to his Word, to offer themselves to God.

I hear God as an audible voice.

You will bear a commission from God, for you have received a call from God.

The highest service that men may attain to on earth is to preach the word of God. This service falls peculiarly to priests, and therefore, God more directly demands it of them.

I go to wherever God calls me, wherever the church calls me to come to minister and preach the word of God.

Now God has never shouted out to me. I've never heard God speak audibly. He doesn't have to.

While I am the one who made the choice to enter the ministry, there was a choice before that one, the choice God made in calling me to be his in the first place.

God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?

As a child I prayed that my calling be revealed - but not with expectation and not with a destination. I became an artist because I didn't know what to do and I thought it was really fun to make things.
