Don't you glad your dad leaves the light on for you?

I am 46. I've already said that several times.

You know, I've heard someone say one time that you spend your first 40 years of your life for success

and your second 40 years for significance.

And when I did leave the vocal band and took that year off I really took time to read

the red part of the Bible. Have you ever read the red part of the Bible? It'll mess you up.

And you know what I found out? I found out we've been hanging around the wrong people.

We've got to start hanging around some more prostitutes.

Jesus hung out with the outcast.

Jesus hung out with the freaks and failures and the vagabonds.

The only people he ever chewed out were the religious folks.

I read Matthew 23 and I put my name in there. I thought, what would I do if Jesus looked at me

and said, Mark, you've gone clear around the world making disciples and you've made them twice

as fit for hell as yourself.

Or he said, Mark, you're polished on the outside,

but inside you're full of dead men's bones.

That'd scare me.

That's the reason now I'm a recovering fundamentalist.

Really?

You know why?

And I tell you, it's Bill Gaither's fault.

Because he introduced me to all you people.
