The First Stone

"The First Stone was written about one of the darkest moments in my life. Some say that the best songs are born out of tribulation. This could be so in this case. It is a song that represents abandonment, bitterness, and betrayal. And while these are forgivable, I believe that even Christian music should reflect the hurt of life in a very real sense. Again, it is a song that can be related to by both non-Christian and Christian alike. It also represents that fact that you don't stop getting hurt when you choose Christ, and sometimes you can receive that hurt from those you think to be Godly."

- Stephen Stroope
Haunting words that all too often strike true. At the same time, all have fallen short of the glory God. That's when God is greatest really, when He lift us up despite our own shortcomings and brings us closer to Him.
