I saw the Casting Crowns live at YouthQuake in Alabama in October, and it was amazing. God's presence was really felt around us, and there were at least 2,000 or more people there. It was an awesome experience.
amen brother even though i may be turning 15 i love going to church there are some things i don't understand and what u are saying bring a message that i hope people will listen to weather they go to church or not I love your song they just bring a message to my heart that i just cant describe so thank you for
what u do to help people and for helping them understand that god loves the world as said in John 3:16 " for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"
this is an AWESOME song!!! Jesus love us so much that He died a horrible death for US! He has been so good to me! I thank Him for all He's done and continues to do for me!! GOD IS AWESOME!!!
i love you guys and your vids. it relly can help us get closer to god. and you guys are my favorite band i always here you on 91.9 and east to west is my favorite song! keep making your videos. may god bless you
Absolutely and AMEN! May we as believers stop doubting ourseleves and start TRULY believing Him; that's when we and those around us experience true joy.
thanks for posting this video and sharing your thoughts - they're are so encouraging and really remembers me, that God's love is so unbelievable huge.
wow this video was very helpful i was thinking about all th sins ive done and always ask forginess in my prayers evry day sometimes for the same thing i thought that go will just will have like a big flat scren in heaven waiting for me inheaven to tell all the sins i have done but this video has put my heart a little more at peace.
This is one of my favorite songs...the whole album is awesome. It's taught me so much and helped me get back into God's Word. I'm finally started to trust Him that my sins are really forgiven and thrown as far as the east is from the west.:)
That is a great reminder that God forgives us and we can just move on.I believe sometimes we have a hard time forgiving ourselves.Glad I saw this.That is great what Mark shared.Thank you Jesus for forgiveness.
I dont know what you've been through or why you 'stopped' believing. The teachings and songs of the casting crowns come from stuations they faced in real life. God workes throug these things. God never changes He loves you no matter what.
Excellent teaching Mark, I'm sure we have learn a lot from you and maybe we will see you someday and even worship Jesus together in the same church !!
GOD has "truly" annointed this band-every song they sing is amazing how we see clearly who GOD is. GOD paid an enormous price & this band clearly praises & worships GOD in all their songs. GOD bless you!
Thank you for your teaching. Everytime I listen to this song I cry. Its truely wonderful.
I disagree with the new book published called the Shack written by William Young. He portrays God the Father as a big African American Woman. What is your opinion on this book?
I don't think that anybody can truly predict what God looks like. Going by the Bible, the best we can say is that he is a man. Women in the Bible were not talked about, or were considered important AT THAT TIME. Also, last time I checked, "Father" was a male. I doubt things would have changed that drastically. But there is no reason somebody should even think about labeling God as a certain race in the first place. IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I have read that that book, too. I also think it's hard to wrap my mind aroung God being a large African American. But the book also explains that it's all about limitations. I think God can come to someone in any way he wants to that will get them to come back to him. But I do agree that the book is Biblically incorrect, but it's more about the bigger picture. I would still recommend this book to someone suffering from a loss that has fallen away from God.
Mark, it's that teacher from FL-thanks soooo much I hope one day I have the opportunity to thank you and the group personally one day...until then blessings to all of you and I'll keep looking to HIM AND HOLD ON...
bgunner, I don't know of your walk in God however it's important not to confuse 'using the Lords name in vain' with being blasphemous of the holy spirit.
Don't worry, I had the same confusion too before I found the truth. As long as you don't profess that the holy spirit is evil, I think you'll be okay. :)
See what you have to understand is what the role of the Holy Spirit is. He works on our hearts to bring us to Christ. And so to blaspheme the Holy Spirit would be to die without accepting the pardon that God is offering through Christ. Because, "it is appointed to men to die once, after this comes judgement." Hebrews 9:27 (NASB)
Doesn't God draw a line too? He doesn't forgive everything. Like, falling away(hebrews 6) and sinning against the holy spirit(mark or luke). It's really frustrating that christians just talk about Gods love, and yes, that's extremely important. But, we seem to care more about those that are LOST than each other.
Wow im kind of late recognizing it but your the singer for the group casting crowns lol great songs i love the song east to west and open the eyes of my heart keep it going great ministry and God Bless.accept meeeee
not only are you an amazing musician/vocalist/lyricist - your teachings are amazing as well. I'm a huge fan Mark. Your music and ministry really touch me. You are truly gifted and blessed.
Mr. Hall(I call you Mr. Hall out of respect b/c I don't know you personally), you're a true inspiration to christians. i dream of one day doing what you're doing for God's glory. Leading or playing worship songs and just mentoring the younger generation in Christ. keep up the tremendous work for God's glory.
Muito boa. uma das melhores bandas internacional que eu conheço

What Happens When SomeOne Blashemed Against The Holy Spirit?
It Can Never Be Forgiven. He Cant Feel The Love Of GOD Anymore? No Salavtion? No Grace? No Hope? He Cant Be Saved?
