Casting Crowns - The Altar and The Door

[45Umbrellas]

This song gives me a feel of assurance I love it because they have a message we in some instants we can relate to. Doesn't matter what happens we can all relate to something even if its not that song. I <3 Casting Crowns

[MrBFC1971]

This song is very touching

[bonickels]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries you are the most judgemental hypocritical sack of political bullshit ive ever heard of. its absolutely ridiculous that these people are reaching so many for God and your downing them. sounds like YOU need to get your shit together broski.

[listenmorespeakless]

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude

[zytigon]

@listenmorespeakless 1 Cor 13v4 is one of the best verses in the Bible. I wonder if you agree that emotional literacy is one of the keys to being loving ? I sometimes hear people say, " I hate him" when they really meant, " I'm angry that he did that, I wish he wouldn't " or some say "stupid people" when they meant " I think they would get on better if they didn't do it that way but rather this way...". I think use of metaphor / name calling is best avoided, maybe Matt5v22 meant that ?

[MegaDave2311]

If you guys don't think Jeremy Camp is a believer, perhaps you should pay attention to the lyrics of his tune "The Way". Some of you guys sound like the Pharisees Jesus despised so much. If a man says he's in Christ, who are we as men to judge? God looks on the heart. Jeremy Camp, Toby Mac, and otheres sing God honoring music. Comparing them to obviuosly worldly bands does them a huge dis-service. By the way, once you come to Christ, you are His forever. Yes, once saved, always saved!

[kimsfishface1]

@MegaDave2311 False doctriine Maybe you need to read in rev. about blotting names out of the books. How can that be if it is always stays in there forever?

[asiasue08]

"me toooo'''am' one of the 4%

[allie13ish]

Awesome music! Were doin a musical at my church and it has this song in it... SO BEAUTIFUL!!! :)

[Wolflord345]

A response to those who believe certain music is not ble to be considered christian or godly... God created all, he gave us the gift of song and voices to praise God. How can something like music given from God be unGodlike? To the tribal man singing in a dialect uncomprehensive to us or to the popular rock singer singing in our native tongue they are all praising God, just in different ways. If you judge how it should be that we praise him then you cannot call yourself a Christian.

[HeroicAge1]

PRAISE THE LORD, WORSHIP GOD, RESPECT CREATION.

[mssndsstr]

@HeroicAge1 AMEN

[lilipod510]

Oh lord may my resolve last into eternity, help me to truly depend on you knowing you do a perfect work as I rest in my redeemer.

[Ema2Peal]

@AmorofGodministries you say that one reason for not listing to Jeremy is because of the hard rock content of his music..Yet you are an avid listener of Casting crowns...But I must ask do you REALLY listen to casting crowns? Cuz they have some pretty hard rock songs. So what makes it ok for them to have it but demonic when Jeremy uses it?

[nenempicapau]

the beaultifull songS2

[Domodeath]

Let me tell you a story, maybe it will help you guys,

One day when St.Francis of Assisi was walking to the next town he planned to preach,he noticed that his friend and brother in Christ, Leo was sad, he asked him about this and he said "I see how small I am compared to God, and sometimes I can't stop sinning. Francis ansured him "if for one day you need to realize something about yourself, realize how blessed you are to have the LORD, who loved and saved you"

[ArraTonks]

we might use their song to praise God...no matter what kind of life any singer lead. Let God deal with them.

Then only thing I don't approve in some christian music, is that it should not rise fleshly feelings. I rather hear rock rather than salsa christian music...

[theboswellbunch]

ArmorOfGodMinistries (But you also look at the persons life style, He acts like he is on drugs, dresses like some thug)

John 7:24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

[Demonslaya07]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries: I'm sorry but you are COMPLETELY wrong about the bands you just mentioned. Newsboys and Jeremy Camp in particular. If you have ANY doubt whether these groups are genuine or not, just go to one of their concerts. They lead everyone in the crowd into WORSHIP. If that's not the spirit of God then I don't know what is. I understand you trying to "warn" us, but please. These bands are willing followers of God just as you and I are.

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

Attention fellow Christians: There is a difference between Christian Rock and contemporary Christian worship music. The Newer Worship Music like Hillsong and Casting Crowns is FINE, but beware of this Christian Rock, Rap, Hip-Hop, ect... it is just secular music with a couple of Jesus' thrown in. People who sing this would be Third Day, Toby Mac, Newsboys, Jeremy Camp, Amy Grant, ect... Beware of this stuff and warn others. SPEAK THE TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST AND MAKE THAT 4% GROW! JESUS LIVES!

[ShadowHeart188]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries sir have you ever heard the song "Wonderful Maker" by Jeremy camp? How about "The Healing Hand of God" ? Please listen to these two songs and make an honest decision of whether this is bad or not =) if you don't want to here are some lyrics.

"what a wonderful maker, what a wonderful savior. How majestic your whispers, and how humble your love. With a strength like no other, and the heart of a father. How majestic your whispers, what a wonderful God"

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

I am not going to listen to the song. And I do not care if it is good or has a tad of Truth in it. Even Murderers get it right at least one time don't they? But you also look at the persons life style, He acts like he is on drugs, dresses like some thug and gives the wrong image of God and Christ our Saviour!

[isaiah6f]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries i agree with you on third day, toby mac, and the newsboys, but not with jeremy camp, jeremy camp lives, and sings like a christian try listening to his music, or looking at his website bfore u make ur jugement

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

Jeremy Camp looks demonic. I kid you not. He is in that same group. While his songs may refer to God, that does not mean they are Christian. One of Areosmith's songs says thank God, but is he a Christian? NO. Jeremy may be a nice guy, but he is not living for God, he is the type that spends 70-100 dollars in his hair, etc. The type of music that goes with the lyrics is what you need to watch. For example the song take my life starts out with HARD rock. He needs to come to the real God

[isaiah6f]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries sure it starts out with Hard Rock, but have you heard ANY Casting Crowns songs? you say they are ok? listen to shadow of your wings, or holy one, Until the whole world hears, american Dream, and tell me those arent hard rock,

ur forgeting, once ur in God's Hand and u accept him as Lord and Saavior NOTHING can Pull you out, because Nothing is too hard for God to forgive.

I don't agree with everything Jeremy Camp does, but i Believe solemnly God can use him.

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

IF YOU WERE LISTENING, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I LISTEN TO CASTING CROWNS! And you are also in the deception thinking that some little prayer is going to save you, that is called easy-believism and OSAS. I listen to Casting Crowns and they are worship songs, NOT that other crap!

[ForeverMidnight00]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries Jeremy isn't just one of those people who just does music and uses a ton of money on hair ect!!! He is a ggod Godly man, so what that HIS music is rocky, there is a band Fireflight, there songs are Christian Rock! havyou got a clue how many people they have reached with that music?!! and it isn't crap either, people that listen to Rock find it often and like it, then they listen to other Christian music ect.

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

@ForeverMidnight00 So what if his music is rocky? That is like you saying, so what if Jesus told one lie? Thats right, then the whole system goes down the drain. People are deceived by this music, not reached. BEWARE and quit being deceived.

[Elijah6f]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries Wow Your Right, i didn't even realize how Bad he sounds!! thank you for showing me. it doesn't sound like worship at all it sounds so demonic!! =/ again thank you.

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

@Elijah6f Sure thing. I give ALL of the Glory and Praise to God.

[AlyxCxAbraham]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries, the type of music they pay doesn't change anything, they could be a screamo band, and praise God. it depends on what kind of music genre they like, and how they want to praise the Lord.

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

@AlyxCxAbraham NO! They could NOT be screamo and praise God. If it does not reflect a life of Holiness and Perseverance, it is from Satan! Read the Bible.

[sophiethenerd]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries

I agree with you about screamo. O.o

[GypsySoulx]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries Take it easy pal. I have plenty of good friends who are great Christians and are in a screamo band... a CHRISTIAN scream band. quit thinking you are 100% right, no where in the bible does it say you're not a christian if you play a certain type of music, you're a dumbass.. Just because you dont like screamo music you try and find something wrong with it, quit being a "know-it-all" douchebag.

[AlyxCxAbraham]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries Being so judgmental and unaccepting and refusing to meet people where they are at, is why so many people hate super-fucking-christians like you. You are the reason they call us stuck up and shut us out.

You do NOT represent Holiness and Perseverance being a stuck up hoe.

It is the lyrics you are supposed to listen to. Not they way it is presented. Playing music such as metal takes much more skill, and is the major draw.

[bigboynav]

@ArmorOfGodMinistries hard rock is in ABSOLUTELY NO WAY demonic! Listen to As I Lay Dying. Their music is definitely hardcore, but it carries a message. How else are you supposed to reach out to metalheads??? that's how I got saved. I never listened to worship music. thought it was for fairies. But it was bands like As I Lay Dying that brought me to God. Don't call yourself a ministry if you're condeming things. that's God's job, not yours.

[oxnardcollegegirl200]

I love this song! Praise Jesus!

[Alchrat]

Lord, THIS TIME, I'm making it right. Here at the altar, I lay my life. Your Kingdom come, but my will WAS DONE. My heart was broken as I cry like so many times before. But I TRY. I'll try. But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure?

My heart is broken when I feel the guilt.

I cry when I forgiveness.

I dry my eyes when I get back up again.

But here I am again. I'll try, Jesus, but how can I be sure?

[Alchrat]

Hey, guys... the "Altar" means the heart right? It's like when you're close to God? And the door is when you go out there and face reality?

[Espio001]

@Alchrat it means different things to different people, the altar could be the place where you have a connection with God, and the door could be the entrance to an eternity of peace of mind

[realloreal]

This song is all about me,

I don't want to read my bible.

I don't want to pray, but yet when they did the altar just a couple of weeks ago there I was.

Pretending, crying, lying

I even have idols, how do you like that.

We'll let me go do something about.

Let me pray and read my bible.

BYE

PSALM

:)

[carterfamily8903]

Love this song, love this group. I Love Jesus, and His word the Bible. We all need to be reading it more.

[thelaura94]

(ll)

[pickBYpickGUITAR]

Just a quick message. Guys, there in this generation there are only 4% people left that call themselves Christians by the Holy Bible. 4% percent! Join me as us- the 4% stands up for the battel to turn the 4% into fifty! or 100! Come to my page and add me i will explain more. Im not trying to earn more friends i just love my God and want to help the world relize how great he is!

God Bless this world, We have to help it!

[Bzamm615]

@pickBYpickGUITAR , im with you, too often Christians are demoralized, with no one willing to speak up against it. Your an inspiration, and I hope that I can meet others who share my passion. Also, I'm betting at least half of that four percent are viewers of this web page

[LucyyThackerr]

@pickBYpickGUITAR i thought 1/3 of the world were christians, let alone 4% :S

[alekJ1]

@pickBYpickGUITAR I dont belive in god

[Dominator1212]

good for you sir, i love this comment and love the fact that there are still good christans who know the real God and know he will be coming back sooner than people know.

[lahaiem]

dontcareifyouhateme ...Yeah Jesus NEVER EVER lets you go...He is faithful evven when we are not for that is who He is...every blessing be yours in Christ- walk with Him...I hope I meet you when we go home!!

[Altairograph]

Yeah, that's excactly the thing about it which they say in one of their songs:

I'm not holding on to you, but you're holding on to me.

Sometimes I can experience excactly that and I think Jesus for pulling me back every time, no matter how much I am pissed of with myself.

[lahaiem]

Amen, Praise God, He is so faithfull! His Grace is sufficient, may His peace be with you always

[Altairograph]

Thanks, it will be.

[fantasticsteph]

I totally feel the same way. sometimes i will screw up soooo bad and i feel like im not worthy of him but when i invite him back it, he gives me peace which reminds me he wants me. thank God for sending a SAVIOR!!!!

[fantasticsteph]

going home will be awesome. i think we have to organize a soccer team when we get there. :)

[fantasticsteph]

Totally agree. even when we do the same stupid stuff He is still there.  praise the Lord

[tylerparadysz]

congratz,thats is awesome how people can reahc others through youtube. god bless

[DontCareIfYouHateMe]

Hey thank you guys so much for your support. through all you guys praying and giving me courage I have dcided to accept Jesus. I know He wont let go of me, right>?

[ejemima]

That's awesome! Congrats! That's right! He won't ever let you go, ever if you should turn his back on you, even if you do one stupid thing after another, He will never EVER leave you, cause he LOVES you, for you, cause you are perfect in his eyes! And in the darkest hour of your life, He will be there, you just have to call out to him. I know addiction can be hard to get through, but the support of God, you can do anything, nothing is impossible for him. Isn't it awesome to have a God like that?

[ejemima]

Sorry... a minor key error: even if you should turn your back on him, he will never EVER do that to you, that's right! :)

[DontCareIfYouHateMe]

Thank you so much!!! And yeah it is GREAT to have someone that does that, even if you can't see him.

[DontCareIfYouHateMe]

Does anybody know how to stop  an addiction?

[lahaiem]

give your life to Jesus...make a decision to life for Christ..He is the only one who can save..you will never regret choosing Christ...to choose Him is to choose life, all other roads lead to death...Every blessing be yours in Christ Jesus ..pierced for our transgressions, who is mighty to save and will do if you choose to accept His salvation through faith...if you lack faith, pray for more..it is a gift from God xx

[AnthonyQuirona]

so simple...love your life...

[lookforthelight]

1. give it to Jesus 2. Pray(the more you talk to God the more he talks to you) 3. stay in the word 4. Email me and others who are willing to stand by you and support you through the addiction.

[swordforchrist]

Yeah....i got your back too. Sometimes when we keep falling, we forget what we are fighting for and we get hypnotized. But a friend told me to keep pushing and pressing on; i guess all we need to do is turn with all our heart to God. And like fluffy the cat said, serve others. We have to put others interests above ourselves even when our world seems to fall apart, cuz that's what Jesus did. He loved us despite our craziness, and that's why we're still in the arena. It ain't over...

[HappyBunny855]

I love this group they are AWSOME:)

Crazy for God 4ever

[wawarnick]

DontCare,

I will pray for you! Hang in there. With God all things are possible.

[Doggiepower6]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

[DontCareIfYouHateMe]

mm, will you guys also pray for me in my battle against sin? it's very hard for me to overcome the temptation and control myself, but i know i can do it with help... i can do anything with God even if you just see this, will you keep me in your prayers? thank you.

[wawarnick]

I will pray for you.

[fluffythecat2]

We got your back here.

We know it's hard. Keep getting on your knees and the Lord will keep helping you.

I am a serial sinner. I struggle with things over and over and over. And yet the Lord has not given up on me.

Keep trying.

Take care.

Keep praying. Serve others and that will open the door for the Lord to bless you more.

[pickBYpickGUITAR]

I will defenitly keep you in my prayers, DontCare

[LLOYDMCLANUS]

I belong to this 4% but I want to ask you what do you like to reach with this copying and pasting???

You have to stand up for God in real life not when there's a worship song...

on a christian worship site it's easy...

try it in your real life ---> that's harder

[Techdude300]

I agree with LLOYDMCLANUS. Copying and pasting, no matter what it is, is just annoying. If you want to be one of those 4%, think of something unique to say. It's like everybody saying the same exact prayer they're entire life; it doesn't mean much if it's not coming from you.

[Olivia21love]

96% of teens won't stand up God...copy and paste if you're one of the 4% who will

96% of teens won't stand up God...copy and paste if you're one of the 4% who will

96% of teens wont stand up for God....copy and paste if ur one of the 4% who will

[silentprophet777]

@ElizabethNicole10 where exactly do these statistics come from? Im not questioning you, Its just that 87% of all statistics are made up (including this one.)

[KoshaGirl777]

@ElizabethNicole10 IM one of the 4% amen?

[goldjuwon]

96% of teens wont stand up for God....copy and paste if ur one of the 4% who will

[cloverscapeluvr]

Thank you so much for this video

[forceESSEn]

punky,god loves u and he will never leave u alone....stay trusting in the lord...he is bigger then we can imagine so we cant understand everything...and if u feel alone...talk to other christians in your area about ur feelings and pray together....ill pray 4 u 2...

[b89gr07]

I know the feeling. I'm there. But I'm learning that this is just another test of faith and though we may get angry at God and feel like our prayers are bouncing off the sky stay faithful. It may not be clear why now but it will be. Stay faithful! I'm prayin for you

[punky777]

what happenes when you feel so far from God and you keep praying and praying and you feel that He doesn't hear you?

i feel so empty because i need God and i don't know how to deal with it.

i want so bad to be close to God but i can't.

[CrazyJap5000]

God hears you. He says he always listens to you.

Matthew 9:15 Jesus himself said there would be a time when us follows would need to fast. it's not easy fasting in spirit. pray, go to church or bible study, be around other good faithful people and you'll feel better until you can see Him with your own eyes. on that day, my friend, we'll never be without Him.

God bless you. i'll be praying for you. finish this race strong!

[punky777]

thank you:)

your message almost made me cry:D

[CrazyJap5000]

you're welcome, i'm glad i could help at all. if you ever need someone to talk to. message me any time if you want to.

[TheFirstAqua]

I know how you feel! More than I can explain. I've been there, and still am.

The truth is... I'm happy for you, because that longing you have is a good sign that you WILL be able to be closer to God! It's not about how close you feel, but the longing of God you hold on to.

That will pull you through. We might not understand why things happen... yet they all really do have reasons.

Keep that burden. God will use it for good. And I'm praying for you, man.

[justint777t]

thank you everyone for the comments they're helping me more then u can believe

[Speelmangirl]

its easter !!the lord has risen!!

[33LEAGLES33]

hey yall i really need some help resisting the temptation of the internet . i keep sayin and prayin to the lord that it wont happen again and i keep findin myself doin it. please keep me in your prayers so that i may overcome it

thanks,

eagle

[Aintafeared]

Hey eagle

I dont know if it helps..but I dont struggle with that but other things ..everyone has their struggles..Because Satan never sleeps he knows excactly what each and everyone of us's weakness are and he will us that against us..

He will fight us no matter what, He doesnt want us happy it kills him to see us close to God or doing good. but if you give it to God he can help you carry the load.

And you can make it!I'll keep you in my prayers!

[silentprophet777]

remember, being saved from sins not only means your clear of any sin, but that the chains of sins that cause you to do something over and over are broken. Satan will lie to you, telling you you still belong to that sin, but Jesus conquered it. So next time ur tempted, just remember that the sin does not own you, and you are free from it. I've found this helpful when dealing with my own temptations.

[OhhhSarahXRenee]

im praying that you dont resist Gods help. But also that you dont think you can do it alone and over come it by your own strength. praying for you :]

[carterc561]

God will help you! listen to the song "does anybody hear hear her?" it's by Casting Crowns. I promise it will help you and so will GOD!!!!! and i WILL pray for you!!!!!! :]

[clvdsc2012]

i love this song this is our song for the lock in

[realloreal]

I'm praying alot for all of us, and I can't stop lusting over these movie stars, and the worst part of it all.

"I'M Married"

I don't want to do it, but I'm gonna start reading the word of God.

My doesn't want to pray either, but I need to always be in his presence.

Oh mann,

Here I go again "between the altar and the door".

I'm such a hypocrite.

Lord, I just want you right now!!!

[ScottishBreadski]

Hey man.

Don't worry, you'll get through this, we all have our troubles and temptations, and at least you know what you are doing is wrong.

Keep your faith strong, and Jesus will forgive. Try your best, and God will recognise your trying, and support you in it all, as he does always.

Keep faith, be strong, and don't forget your God is always there for you.

[realloreal]

Thanks all,

My pastor put it like this.

There is a "GOD".

And were not.

Praise God forever.

Gloria a "Dios por siempre".

[realloreal]

O.k. I know I've commented that I love this song, but let's listen to the message.

They sure must have been thinking of me when they wrote this song, "BECAUSE THIS IS DEFINITELY ME"! Or am I alone?

I have I have idols and I struggle with the word of God (understanding it's meaning)

Thank you father God that you are God, and NOT ANY OF US!!!!

[righteous0warrior]

hey youre not alone there isnt one person who can understand God perfectly

If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshiped. Evelyn Underhill

[FayraLee]

Join the club. =)

I think we all feel like this at one point or another... you know... once a week... maybe more. I´ll tell you something, I´m really glad God is so merciful.

[tokwastudios]

your not alone...

im struggling through one serious personal problem.... Sin..

im sinning and keep saying i wont do it again

have the strength to fight over this sin.

[789pequignot]
