Quotes:
...worship has been about a third of the show. This last tour, it was more of like a two-thirds instead of one-third. We focused more on the worship aspect of our show and a little bit less on the "get up and get crazy, jump up and down, get down" kind of thing.
-Mac Powell
We had a little bit of time free so we thought it was the perfect timing to make this live praise and worship record that we always wanted to make. We took a chance and made it.
-Mac Powell
I think we've got to open up our minds a little more than just worship being music. It's living our whole lives just for God. Hopefully our music is not just something that you can sing along with to help you worship God, but the words remain in your heart and in your mind and remind you of your faith and of God and wanting to live your life for Him.
-Mac Powell
If we're going to be Christians, if we're going to be who we say we are-followers of Christ-we've got to really dig into the Word and seek Him. The Lord has really taught me through the last couple of years that you find out things from Him through His Word, through His Spirit speaking to you and also through the affirmations of brothers and sisters, people who have gone before us who are stronger in their faith.
