(Read Matthew Chapter 23)
"Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness."

My goal for this second CD was to boil down the teachings of Jesus into seven songs, hitting on the major themes that He emphasized during His public ministry. It was a tremendous challenge and a rewarding exercise that forced me to dig for the heartbeat and the essence of our Savior’s message.

Jesus spent so much of His earthly ministry confronting the scribes and Pharisees that I felt I would have been remiss to not include this song.

Sadly, I think the song is all too fitting for our present day and age. The pharisaical spirit lives on.

I dedicate this song to those who knowingly allow pedophile priests and pastors to linger in their posts. I dedicate this song to those who are more concerned about climbing the politcal ladder than proclaiming the Word of Christ. I dedicate this song to those who turn a blind eye to the widespread corruption of our so-called "Christian" universities and refuse to take a stand against liberal theology. I dedicate this song to all who are offended by it, for it only offends those who bear resemblance to these scoundrels, for whom Christ reserves His most severe condemnation.

Please note: There are LOTS of good priests, pastors and bishops serving the body of Christ today, who seek the Lord with all their hearts and proclaim the Word tirelessly. To you I say, "Thank you. My prayers are with you. Fight the good fight, and stand your ground. God be with you!"
