This is the faith!
This is the faith complex,
Where all it takes is another step so we can then step again
It's not all about the numbers
This is the faith!
This is the faith complex,
Try not to write another disappointing letter to integrity,
Only go faster when you've stopped and thought,
Only go slower when you've learned of wisdom.
Everything is a question of goodwill,
But we're too busy delivering answers with arrogance,
Isn't it funny how ones compassion diminishes when his or her own perils rise?
Perils Rise
It's not all about the numbers,
What should we ask for?
Who should we look to if all we know is burning bridges
Don't speak to me like I'm a stranger.
Turn your thoughts to the roots,
As we've all been caught up in the branches.
With roots above and branches below,
Don't run if you don't know your walk,
This is the faith complex,
This is a memoir to friends persisting.
This is the faith complex! [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_devil_wears_prada/sassafras.html ]
To plainpreacher their god is not the devil im sorry u dont understand so let me help u out a little!! It's the same concept as their lyrics 'emeralds hold no hope' and many others. What they believe it to mean is that possessions don't matter at all and someday everyone will realize that this is true. When standing before god, he won't care about your sweet prada scarf or gucci shoes or whatever. It's a christian reasoning for the name, they didn't name it to attempt at being fashionable or whatever. So just because their way of delivering gods word is diffrent dont pass judgment.. I think it is great what they are doing they are speaking to the younger generation. God doesnt care what we wear how cool we are or wat music we listen to as long as we are worshiping him!! So god bless and try and open your mind and hear a little!!
"it's not about the numbers" isn't about joining anything.
"it's the faith! " "where all it takes is another step so we can then step again"
it's not about the number(s) of steps you take. It's the walking by faith and not by sight. Above all doubt and trough all peril, we walk... We walk by faith.
@thedevilwearsprada, i think when he says "its not about the numbers" i think he is referring to getting people to join the church just for "number" and/or money and things of that nature, as apposed to joining the body of christ. I kinda went deeper than what the song is plainly telling me, but i appreciate the message a ton always a good reminder :)
I like the meaning to this song, it reminds me of the parable of the wedding banquet. Were all invinted but some are not wearing the right clothes. Dont come to the party wearing the wrong clothes! And god doesnt like haters. Tdwp is good
@ plainpreacher actually their name is about how material things and things of this world don't matter. Look things up before you talk. You're confused about what you're writing. If you actually read the lyrics carefully you would see that its talking directly about how people can have such compassion for something but when their problems rise their compassion diminishes.
What has caused you to have such anger? Im guessing that your account is a joke meant to make people mad. Either way where do you have room to judge? Matthew 7 has some words for you.
Or maybe you just "ran before you learned you walk" and are confused at what jesus taught.
Either way, your post makes me feel sorry for you.
