Stained Glass Masquerade
Wow, the past couple of days have been one of the most mind blowing days I’ve experienced in a while. It’s amazing some of the things God can teach you if you’ll just sit back and let Him teach, and that’s what I’ve been doing.
I know it seems simple, but it’s so very effective. Listen, and you can hear.
Ministry needs to change. It can’t be the same anymore. And we need to get on board for what God is doing.
I want the Christians who read this blog to listen carefully. God IS moving. Are you moving with him, or are you standing in the way? Watch this video, read the words carefully, and realize that church CANNOT stay the same. It’s GOT to change. Tomorrow, I want to go through the song and comment on it, but for today, just watch the video and let God speak to you.
If you cannot see the video here, go over to youtube and view it there.

Thank you so much Nathan! I loved that song the first time I heard it but now that I have heard it so many times it had lost something. In this video form it brought it all back again. I’ve been in the after Easter funk but I now feel refocused. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I am a first time pastor (6 weeks now)and I am already struggling with the lack of passion my church has for reaching out to people, and for admitting their own weaknesses. I try to be vulnerable and open so that they will open up as well. However, they act like they have it all together, and I’m afraid a visitor with real world problems would not feel valued by them. This video shows how we can force people into a fake display of their Christianity by not being “real”. I may use this video in church to illustrate how I feel and how we need to be available to people or we might as well close the doors.
The song addresses what’s lacking in many churches: Grace.
The idea that people have to clean themselves up before they will be acceptable to God - it’s said when that burden is perpetuated by churches. God meets us right where we’re at, and His Son has already met that burden for us.
The church is at a turning point in it’s history. The word of GOD is no longer considered relevant.It’s all about conforming to the world and not about the truth, which is salvation through JESUS. Let the truth be known, THE WORD LIVES TODAY AND FOREVER. This video and song show the path of the church today. Let us pray for the end of the stained glass masqurade church,and pray for the HOLY SPIRIT to once again fill our church.
