Stained Glass Christianity

 Stained Glass Christianity has ruined Christianity.

The church is a porcelain facade of holier than thou spirits and fake piety

The church doesn’t love unless there is something for them in return 

What do they want? 

Your money

Your body

Your soul

Your mind

Total allegiance to the stained glass mentality. 

Where there is no room for imperfection- so all imperfections continue to be concealed

Abuse

Predators

Control

Betrayal 

Bigotry

Racism 

This is what the stain glass covers. Each layer painted over to conceal the cracks and mistakes.

The church will not be recognized as good representatives of Christ on earth until we shatter every stain glassed window pane. 

Every piece scattered to the wind to reveal us for who we are. 

Humans just like everyone else. 

We mess up 

We are angry

We get hurt 

But we love others with an unconditional love. 

We do not hide abuses- or excuse it.

Shattering the glass and letting light in- We expose every monster lurking in the dark .

But to do so makes us face that we really aren’t as different or “ set apart” as we see ourselves being.  It breaks down the wall of us vs them. It makes us the same as everyone else. 

So patch harder. Cover up with more paint. 

Muddy up the stain glass window to hide your sins. 

But realize this…

The cracks are visible from afar off. We all know. 

We are just waiting for it to break
