I just got finished watching a documentary on the life of Keith Green. This, my friends, is an insane story. What impacted me most as I sit and try to process the depth of Keith’s short life is the passion He maintained for the lost. He carried such an intense burden to see people brought into a relationship with Christ and raised to maturity. At one point in his life he owned 2 houses on his street and rented out five others in his neighborhood, each holding 10 to 15 people, in order to house some of the people he won to Christ. He burned with the compassion of Christ. Much of his story resounds with the sentiments of the rising disciple generation. Keith was either way ahead of his time or the church had just strayed so far from the true message of Christ that he appeared to be a revolutionary. Truly living out the message of Christ is revolutionary. This documentary is a 7 part video on youtube (How fitting that the inter video is posted for free with no copy write infringement). Watch IT… It will change your life!
“The world is sleeping in the dark that the church just can’t fight, cause it’s asleep in the light. How can you be so dead when you’ve been so well fed?
-Keith Green, Asleep in the Light

Here are a few of my favorite Keith Green quotes, he was absolutely amazing:
“I repent of ever having recorded one single song, and ever having performed one concert, if my music, and more importantly, my life has not provoked you into Godly jealousy or to sell out more completely to Jesus!”
“Loving Him is to be our cause. He can take care of a lot of other causes without us, but He can’t make us love Him with all our heart. That’s the work we must do… Anything else is an imitation.”
“The only music minister to whom the Lord will say, ‘Well done, thy good and faithful servant,’ is the one whose life proves what their lyrics are saying, and to whom music is the least important part of their life. Glorifying the only worthy One has to be a minister’s most important goal!”
I must say I was glued to this documentary. What a passionate man! Man I remember my mom and dad playing so much of this music in the house. I remember rocking out to you want to go back to egypt. Man I must tell you that this man believe hard core in discipleship. He lived the vision of win, connect, train, send. WOW, this guy did not just read scripture he lived it. This is impacting! I love the quotes from him… WOW! That stuff will preach!
