if everyone cared



i don't particularly listen to these guys a lot, but i do believe that this is what the arts should do -give voice to the oppressed, be a catalyst for change, and unveil eyes to see God.

it's amazing when people in the mainstream entertainment industry use their art to speak of real life issues affecting our world and society. art has an amazing way of inspiring hearts and touching souls.

when art speaks it can change the world.

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day, when nobody died

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be...

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." -Prov. 31: 8,9

the miniature earth


one of the most powerful things someone said to me was that God has truly blessed us with so much, but we were never meant to keep it to ourselves.

what will you do with what God has given you?

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." -2 Cor 8:9
