My favorite is Matthew 25: 'The Lord said, 'Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me.' I truly believe that.

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; / And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

I grew up in the Methodist church and taught Sunday school, and one of my favorite passages of scripture is, 'in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' Matthew 25:40.

I believe in the sanctity of human life, from the womb to the tomb.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

I believe you have to keep the theological standard high; the Lord said, 'Be perfect,' and the leaders have to be striving for that standard with all there is in them.
