A Deeper Level

Been listening to a lot of Israel Houghton & New Breed lately....they're known for their excellent musicianship, but this statement that he made caused me to look at them in a new light. [And they fasted 40 days prior to the live nights of worship and recording for the "A Deeper Level" album.] *Respect*

"It is impossible for us to call ourselves worshippers;
get that close to God's heart,
without being moved to take action against extreme poverty
and injustice in the world...because that is the heart of God."
- Israel Houghton

" 'Justice'- Apprehending the disposition of God's heart toward the broken."
- Bishop Joseph Garlington
