I love me some Keith Green. Few people have stoked the embers in my heart for the glory of God and salvation of souls than this brother. Consider this lyric from the song below:
“The world is sleeping in the dark that the church just can’t fight
’cause its asleep in the light.
How can you be so dead when you’ve been so well fed,
Jesus rose from the grave, and you can’t even get out of the bed.”
Living in ordinary life with gospel intentionality cannot be sustained with ordinary love. We need prophetic passion, a fire in our bones, that channels a life of overflowing joy and sacrificial love into genuine, humble pleading for sinners to know Jesus. How can we love our neighbors well if we have no love for their souls?
