“I identify myself as a child of God, and I can’t get up here without thanking God...I want to encourage you that God made you and you’re important."

"I just want to thank Jesus for letting me be a part of this, that he's put a voice in my throat. For everybody who's a writer, whoever's involved in all this, I just think it's such a gift. This community of music. I love it so so much, and I'm just incredibly grateful." 

"As Christians, we are instructed to be His light, to become fishers of men, and to spread the word of His salvation to all nations. It’s The Great Commission, and it’s every Christian’s calling. You may not be called to a foreign mission field, but we all are missionaries in our own right."

“[God] doesn’t ask us not to have sex for him because he wants rules and stuff,” said Bieber. “He’s like, 'I’m trying to protect you from hurt and pain.' I think sex can cause a lot of pain."

"But it’s a choice! It’s the mother’s choice! That’s the real argument, but I can’t understand why. How can one life decide that another life isn’t important? Just because one is bigger and can hold down a job (maybe)?"

"You see, the issue isn’t really with a wall, whether it’s built or whether it isn’t. In truth, the barrier is already up."
