radioHas Amy sold out or sold in? To find out Thorn Grainger spoke to AMY GRANT at her Nashville home.
Continued from page 3
Amy: "I think it has to do with the way my parents taught me: if you're in a community, you ought to be a contributing part of it. My commitment to Christ makes me feel even more responsible to have a humanitarian lifestyle. Life is just a whole lot bigger than a secret Christian club somewhere."
Thorn: In closing, how do you view your faith at this point in your life? Do you see God any differently than in the past?
Amy: "I think what I feel right now is real unconscious of myself - really - and I do love God - deeply - and feel totally plugged in to my church; Gary and I are involved in one couples' prayer group and one worship team. Then I've got a Wednesday morning women's prayer group that's like a life line for me, and in the process of all of this I've kinda lost myself, and in a real good way, I think.
I have struggled with feelings of inadequacy and insecurity for years,
and I've recently been challenged to see those feeling as nothing more
than unbelief, which is sin. I really believe that if we all could
deal with this tendency toward self-consciousness, and put to it an
end, it would encourage our ability to become more productive members
of God's people in the world."

I actually have this orginal article for CCM Magazine; it is like ancient now, 20 years ago! Amy's music for me, has always provided a breath of fresh wind. I will play her music, and then one day, a song I've been listening to for a long time hits home; usually a line or two grabs me: the way GOD intended. I really like the way Amy commented about a painter's point of view of an individual liking or disliking their art verses music tastes. It is so true, either you like it or you don't; and if you do not like a painting, you simply just walk away from it. Amy's music has blessed my life beyond words, GOD Bless her for it!
