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. The church is at a turning point in it’s history.

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 song addresses what’s lacking in many churches: Grace.

Russell Harbaugh Thu, 12 Apr 2007 15:53:55 +0000 http://www.nathanrice.org/2007/04/11/stained-glass-masquerade/#comment-583 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. Thank you so much for opening my eyes.

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 Nathan!
