Keith was a great exhorter to Christians. His words convict the hearts of Christians who have sat in church many years. This is not meant for those who are seeking truth and who are not there yet. To be real: You will obey God to the level you love Him. Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
if u can't come to me everyday then don't bother comming at all; I want a heart of fire not a praise of ice...haha, nice remarks and indeed very true. Who wants a half ass or fake relationship with them..especially God?
I am extremely saddened by your comment matthew. Have you not read where Jesus cried out "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? " Then again he hadn't been in ministry 36+ years either. The Church is it great need of prophets like Keith to rise up and call it to repentance and revival.
Thank-you so much Lord for saving me. Your grace is truly amazing. Teach me to obey everything that you command me. Chastise me oh Lord. Make me a vessel to do your work through. Use me to do you will, Lord. You are worthy Lord. How lost and ineffective we are without Jesus Christ in us and working through us.
to "fear the Lord" is to have "reverance" for the Lord, not to tremble in fear, but to tremble in "awe" of Him, as time goes by, the Holy Ghost will teach us if we're yielding to Him how to fear our Lord, we are not perfect yet, the Holy Ghost will work with us until our dear Lord comes to get us, so yielding to the Holy Spirit is the key here. that's what keith is saying. to obey is better than sacrifice John 14:26
"To obey is better than sacrifice..." Obedience to God's Word is one of the greatest marks of a believer . Jesus said "if you love me, you will obey me". Thanks for posting this powerful and timeless message. God bless!
I had no idea Keith Green had a great sense of humor to go along with his amazing musical gifts - I guess I can thank him for breaking the barriers for both Christian music as well as Christian comedy. Thanks for allowing God to use you, Keith so I could have a job in BOTH careers!
This man played it straight and said it straight! He put his everything into what he sang and played. In fact, when he recorded he played and sang at the same time because when he sang over his previously recorded instrumental track it lacked luster. Now he is home in heaven. Miss him.
Keith Green and Glenn Kaiser are my top two favorite musicians of all time, and I've heard a bunch of 'em.
Lobo, Toto, 38 Special, The Outlaws, Peter Frampton, Chuck Berry (my most favorite rock song is the original created by him)...the list goes on for a bit; however, I don't think anybody comes close to Glenn and Keith!
"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
I just "did half of it", when God told me to do something. Watching this vid made me repent (even though I'd watched it many times before) There are wise messages in his songs and song introductions
This is an awesome song - one of my favourites. I'd love to know what Keith would of thought about the church today! He is one of the most challenging Christian singers ever!!
Even after all these years - since Keith's death, the message and inspiration come across as clear as they did when first share, or sung. We miss you, here, Keith, but are so thankful, to God, for the time He shared you with us.
Great music...can someone over there send me a copy of his music.... we dont have then over here....send to PASTOR SAMSON MUSYOKI P.O BOX 231 NKUBU, KENYA, EAST AFRICA. Thanks
Why is there fighting again? Instead of fighting amongst yourselves like the disciples did trying to figure how "who's number one?" This situation reflects the essence of that argument "who can argue better and make the best point so that (AHA!) I'M EXAULTED!!"
You can save yourself a lot of trouble if you just kept your mouth shut and stayed away from vain and pointless arguments.That's a commandment, you know because where envy and STRIFE are, there so will be every manner of evil. EVERY MANNER of evil.
Stop trying to reason within your OWN heart about the mysteries of God, which, in all truth, aren't really a mystery. They're just a mystery because PEOPLE make things complicated by reasoning in their minds and their own hearts rather than taking it before the Lord.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Lord Will Anounce at the Return of Christ "Fear the lord and Give Him Glory..." read it in revelation. I have been a minister for 36+ years; I walk in absolute power and dominion over this matrix, and believe me if you do not fear the almighty you are an idiot not even beyond step 1. Look at the cross for God's sake you did that to His kid SINNER.
woah there, easy... i'm sure you are right that fear is the beginning of wisdom because the bible says so. But Liz has a point there as well. God LOVES the world so he GAVE his only son (john3:16) so there are 2 sides to this matter. To be loved by a fearsome God is finding a right balance in approach. Keith used to say: "people love Jesus as their friend but find it hard to accept him as their Lord as well" He is both...
Good news except Americans play the church game and NEVER repent.
PROOF: Signs FOLLOWING Believers:
Mark 16 and OTHER PLACES says : Believers will raise the dead, cast out demons, talk in tongtues; prophecy, perform miracles etc; do you DO THESE?? Then you are NOT REAL!!! BTW these things are simple IF you have been discipled by a prophet not taught religion by a idiot in semitary.
Love is a fruit of SPIRIT; candy coated idolatry is not love. Keith was OK but God had to let Satan kill him and he took his kids from his wife in his pride and deception because like you, he was young and ignorant.
I am a minister and know Melody Green (Keith's Wife) and her best friend/assistant Betty. I have ministered at last Days Ministries in Tyler Texas; it is now closed. Look at my videos if you dare NEOcon. Awake sleeper; arise from the dead!
You do NOT know what spirit you are of! The Holy Spirt will NEVER lead you to exalt yourself. The manifestation of the Holy spirit is for the profit of all. Likewise, the gifts are for edification of the church. it is written " Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy [speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men]."
There is no time left for fantasy christianity; repent all and BE THE MINISTER instead of POSING while idolatrizing a dead piano player; when did you lat tell someone about Christ? BITE SOME WAX FRUIT SOMETIME, THERE IS YOUR US CHRISTIANINTY SUGAR DIABETES FAT assed RELIGION; repent America you are all alike lost in the fire of the nuclear bombs coming to judge the USA; Washington dreamed it, William Brannum saw it; what are you doing to save the USA?
hello brother in Christ, The Lord really loves you and you don' t ever have to work for his love, his grace is free, but how ever if Love him back you will obey his commands and you will fear him. the bible says Never to call any one and Idiot this would mean your in danger of judgment and fire Matthew 5:22 and if you do not love your brother then you are a murderer 1john 3:15 last do you know that person? it sounds like they are not a sinner but a sheep of God who needs guidance ifyou minister
to the sheep of God you cant beat them up, You my friend sound like you need deliverance from some things, if this makes you mad... then it would show even more that there needs to have some healing and deliverance. I want to tell you this all in Love as a Christian Family member. I love you and am praying for your heart bless you my brother
Goats 1 and all. Never follow Chgrist; do you speak in tongues? Cast out demons? POSERS! You were trained by fools; Repent and join the School of the Prophets "The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of ________" Do you even have a true testimony? You are lost in Babylon; babes in toyland; lost THESPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD which does these miracles and so have NO CHRIST (power) and NO SALVATION and lead others NOWHERE: blind lead the blind; do not deny it ! Repent there is hope in revival POPS
Hrash but true; we need a WAKE UP CALL we are all ASLEEP Google the North Pacific Gyre and see we are all DOOMED!!!!! Unless Christ comes and the angels / aliens fix our planet it is uninhabitable we have pushed nature over the limit and like a snowball down a snowy hill it has gotten bigger than we can fix now. CHrist will pull the true (TONGUE TALKIN POWER FILLED) believers out and you posers will get to test your faith for real old school with torture and horrors fitting your REBELLION.
"The Lord oppresses the proud but gives grace to the humble." Proverbs 3:34. It's great that you are a minister, sir, and if God has blessed you with the gift of tongues and healing, that's fantastic. We are all sinners, have all fallen short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23) and none of us deserve God's love, but he gives it to us freely. As a sister in Christ, a member of your spiritual family, I will kindly suggest you to humble yourself before the Lord, and love your neighbor as yourself.
@matthewwp56 we are all sinners saved by grace friend - All our righteousness is as filthy rags.. All have sinned and cOme short of the glory of God.. Let him without sin cast the first stone SELAH. We all did that 2 his His Son, includin U. Beware of religious pride & reach for the lost in love, compassion & humilty not with a haughty spirit. I don't walk in ABSOLUTE power & dominion over this matrix. I walk in Him He has all the power and might and through Him I conquer. He gets ALL the glory
i know this is the middle of the conversation but are you saying that you have reached a point of sinless perfection. if so, wow pray for rest of us. brother, the only day we will be perfect is when we receive our glorified body.
I am extremely saddened by this comment. "If you do not fear the almighty you are an idiot." If you were a minister of 36+ years you would realize that you are doing either one of two things. You are either drawing people closer to Christ or pushing them farther away. I've never won anyone to the Lord by calling them names. Jesus said in John 3:17 "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."
well to be frank you should watch those MTV shows and all that junk that is playing on TV now a days where they call people worse things and they seem to be so entertained. Just look at the Ratings, I think people are so hungry to hear God's word. I don't think they mind a little bit of sincerity. I only hope there were more Keith Green's that would make a difference in this world.
@matthewwp56 it also says, by the measure that you judge you will be judged. sir, you seem proud, but know this, even in 36 years of ministering, the lord can bring you down like a child. don't be proud. i'm sure you know to be humble and to fear the lord. saying you walk in absolute power and dominion over this matrix, sounds like something a humble man wouldn't say jesus gives us authority over wickedness but you are accusing and lifting yourself up higher than you are.remember how pual talked
I found Keith after he had passed. I was amazed that someone else saw God the way I do. He was real with a real message. God is not to be feared. He is full of love and joy. We need to accept his hugs and proud smiles. This makes him happy...and me too!
@LizzardLetteTainted7 The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Almighty. Everyone is real; he was "Cool" is all; that's what evangelists do they make God approachable; but only in Christ; to even look upon the almighty is death to mere mortals.I fear heights and I haven't jumped off any buildings...fear aint all bad.
@matthewwp56 I think you missed something about God in general in your all powerful mighty walk; the reason why God demands things from is BECAUSE he's a loving father. Just like a good and loving father expects great things out of His children, and God demands those things out of us, and gets angry when we act like a lazy bum. If a parent sees that their kid is acting like a bum while they're in their house, of course they'll kick them out, to see that maybe they'll get their butts to work.
I saw him at a small Bible Study, and I didn't know who he was. He was very genuine. Nothing "famous" or "celeberty" about him. Just another Jesus People person who really loved the Lord. After the Bible study he said, "God gave me a song, and I want to play it for you guys, but I want you to focus on the song, and not my playing." But his playing was so profound, I could not concetrate on the message.
I agree with matthew. I've been guilty of idolizing Keith and now I realize that nobody - not even someone as talented as Keith - is deserving of that. Yes, he seemed humble and he had a gift. But none of us knows what the Lord's verdict of Keith will be on Judgment Day. So give your admiration and "Idolatry" to Jesus only.
@cjjorgensen you are a sweetheart...I think its so sweet that you're "admitting" to a thing like this...he did play so heartfelt and connected to all energy...I am proud of you.
yep, he was, past tense, but you get born again, an become a new creation, more than a conquerer, now longer a continual sinner thats lost,, but a born again christian, no, we aint just old sinners no more, saved by grace, thats past tense,,
he may have been a lousy sinner but this guy was used by the lord so many times....he was an amazing man and i would have considered it an houner to have gotten to talk wit him'
Yes, a sinner and if you read his biography, full of doubts just like the rest of us. For me, that makes his music even more inspiring, that it didn't come from some "superman" Christian, but from a stumbling, bumbling sinner, saved by Grace! I was lucky enough to see and hear him in 1976 and still have the tape I ordered from that evening. Talents come from God, eh?
Never forget meeting KG at a high school near D.C. He gave me a tape and trusted that I would mail him the check. There hasn't been anyone like him since.
I re-dedicated my life to the Lord Jesus on Sept. 29, 1980 at his concert at Knotts Berry Farm. I was supposed to attend the Debbie Boone concert but the Holy Spirit has something different in mind. I asked the Holy Spirit to baptize me and ever since then I have been a solid Christian. Keith Green is my spiritual father.
That year and the next were his golden most influential years for me also. I know this will be controversial but these years were his/ God's!! greatest until he ran into the likes of John Dawson and YWAM. He was never the same after.
Hey this is news to me, please explain why he wasnt the same after meeting them, what happened? How did he change? Im interested. thank you and God bless you.
What we need are more talented individuals raised in the entertainment industry to read Finney's revival lectures. Hopefully, they start taking Finney's Bible and revival instructions seriously, and then we'll have revivalists just like Mr. Green. Just think, you could have been ENTERTAINED now by Keith's 23rd album if Pratney hadn't directed Keith to read Wesley and Finney. Keith would have everyone read Revival Lectures if he didn't play piano. Why are you all gazing up into the heavens?
Great song, great lyrics. so amazing to hear this. i cant wait to meet God in heaven. that day will be so incredible! also meeting Keith, would be cool too.
Keith was an awesome intensely devoted Christian. He was a force, an arrow in God's quiver who moved many people closer to the Lord. His preaching, before he met certain "love gospel" characters who subsequently persuaded him to water his (God's!) messages down, would break you down and cut you to the quick. After this, he would gently guide you back into even deeper closer fellowship with Jesus. God used him to empty you so that God could fill you back up with Himself.
@gavincostin1 why, oh why would you say something like that...so hateful, so callous? All he ever did was share the message of Love and Salvation through Christ, touching the lives of many. Do you even know his life story? Well, seems you're seeking something, otherwise why would you even be watching this? anyways, God loves you man. If you let Him, He'll take your hurt and turn it into joy! He did it for me, He did it for Keith, He can do it for you..He's waiting- go on, you'll never regret it.
My parents worked in the Christian music publishing business, and had a meeting with Keith at his home in Texas shortly before he died. They took a tour of the area in Keith's rented jet and everything. That was the same summer he died, in that plane when it crashed. It still upsets my mother to talk about Keith.
It was such a great shock and a great loss. I'm sitting here now listening to his music and weeping. Keith was three years older than me and was the apple of God's eye. Two of his children died with him and we all wondered, Lord, how could you let that happen?" He was truly sold out to God as was/is his wife Melodie. He is still ministering from beyond.
God gives us wisdom. It was not wise for Keith to overload his plane with too many people. The plane became unstable and crashed. When we do stupid things, we pay the price.
The Bible is replete w/ incidents of God's chosen paying the price for poor spiritual decisions (maybe not so much for stupid things) from Sampson to David to King Saul. So maybe at the root of the overloaded plane was tempting God God or something. The only kinda stupid thing that comes to mind is the guy in the book of Acts who was at a prayer meeting/bible study, fell asleep and fell out of an attic window and died. I believe he was brought back to life. thanks for your comments.
"Well I hear you speak of grace and My love so sweet. . . how you thrive on milk but reject My meat. And I can't help weeping at how it will be if you keep on ignoring My word."
Jesus: still saying this today. Except now He is RIGHT at the door.
Unbelievers_P_L_E_A_S_E_ be ready for Jesus. Just love Him. Do what He says. Read His words, take them seriously by applying them to yourself - that shows a lot. Welcome Him into your heart.
btw, thank you so much for posting many things on Keith. Have really needed to be reminded and his life/person witness is such comfort. I don't place people on a pedestal ever and that goes for him, too. Rather, I simply love seeing a believer faithfully obey and love God - that is what is comfort here...when believers let themselves be the clay, light, city God is making them into...truly comforting 'cuz then we see God's sweet Spirit.
yes I saw Keith perform in Sydney Australia in the late 70's. He had a very strong stage presence. His sold-out commitment and belief in what he was singing about (and of course his musical gifting) were very evident. You couldn't help but be challenged by his message
This guy is just amazing. died more than 20 years ago and is still impacting this generation. God can raise up such impactful ministries--all it takes is for the person to completely give himself to Him.
Thanks for posting the videos from the 1978 Estes Park concert. I lived in Denver in 1978 and when I heard about the concert, went to beautiful Estes Park to see Keith perform. The passion of the man is wonderful to see again. I have often wondered and hoped that Meoldy Green has done well since Keith's death--which from man's perspective came way too soon.
Keith was so awesomely used by God-never have I heard anyone minister through music like he did.I sorely miss him and often question why the plane crash.God could have prevented it but chose not to.Hard to understand seeing that he was so used by God and so willing to reach people for Christ.
Words of challenge for all believers to live by. We tend to latch onto rules and regulations but He wants our hearts. I was in a Sunday evening service many years ago when Keith played in his special way and called people to salvation. By the time it was over, about 150 people stood to accept the gift of life from Jesus. Then we all stood and joined Keith as he played The Easter Song! I thought the Lord was coming back that night.
rofl @ trying to sneak off morning!!! lol...Jesus did that a time or two before he was crucified too (remember, the cliff...haha). We should sing this several times in every church service.
What a prophet for the modern day church! It is us who God has called to repentance - it is us who God has called to humble ourselves, seek His face and turn from OUR wicked ways....then will He hear from heaven and heal our land. Keith understood that, relayed the message and in many circles was ridiculed for it...God bless him for sticking with the message.
This was the song that we sang in that church service where the choir director got fired not I don't want your money I want your life. I remember it. It was like 27 years ago when we sang that song.
She really did get fired. At that time the pastor was into the building fund scheme and the building got built. Then he got the notion to build another one and it was wearing the people down and she picked this song and we rehearsed it and when we sang it, it didn't go over too well with the board of directors. My friend prophesied after the song was over and I went out the side door to get away but the side door was locked. lol. You could feel the oppression.
Keith was a great exhorter to Christians. His words convict the hearts of Christians who have sat in church many years. This is not meant for those who are seeking truth and who are not there yet. To be real: You will obey God to the level you love Him. Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

Mark 16 and OTHER PLACES says : Believers will raise the dead, cast out demons, talk in tongtues; prophecy, perform miracles etc; do you DO THESE?? Then you are NOT REAL!!! BTW these things are simple IF you have been discipled by a prophet not taught religion by a idiot in semitary.

@matthewwp56 What about love? If I speak with the tounges of men and Angels but have not love I have nothing.

Love is a fruit of SPIRIT; candy coated idolatry is not love. Keith was OK but God had to let Satan kill him and he took his kids from his wife in his pride and deception because like you, he was young and ignorant.

You do NOT know what spirit you are of! The Holy Spirt will NEVER lead you to exalt yourself. The manifestation of the Holy spirit is for the profit of all. Likewise, the gifts are for edification of the church. it is written " Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy [speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men]."

hello brother in Christ, The Lord really loves you and you don' t ever have to work for his love, his grace is free, but how ever if Love him back you will obey his commands and you will fear him. the bible says Never to call any one and Idiot this would mean your in danger of judgment and fire Matthew 5:22 and if you do not love your brother then you are a murderer 1john 3:15 last do you know that person? it sounds like they are not a sinner but a sheep of God who needs guidance ifyou minister

to the sheep of God you cant beat them up, You my friend sound like you need deliverance from some things, if this makes you mad... then it would show even more that there needs to have some healing and deliverance.

Goats 1 and all. Never follow Chgrist; do you speak in tongues? Cast out demons? POSERS! You were trained by fools; Repent and join the School of the Prophets "The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of ________" Do you even have a true testimony? You are lost in Babylon; babes in toyland; lost THESPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD which does these miracles and so have NO CHRIST (power) and NO SALVATION and lead others NOWHERE: blind lead the blind; do not deny it ! Repent there is hope in revival POPS

CHrist will pull the true (TONGUE TALKIN POWER FILLED) believers out and you posers will get to test your faith for real old school with torture and horrors fitting your REBELLION.

"The Lord oppresses the proud but gives grace to the humble." Proverbs 3:34. It's great that you are a minister, sir, and if God has blessed you with the gift of tongues and healing, that's fantastic. We are all sinners, have all fallen short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23) and none of us deserve God's love, but he gives it to us freely. As a sister in Christ, a member of your spiritual family, I will kindly suggest you to humble yourself before the Lord, and love your neighbor as yourself.

I am extremely saddened by this comment. "If you do not fear the almighty you are an idiot." If you were a minister of 36+ years you would realize that you are doing either one of two things. You are either drawing people closer to Christ or pushing them farther away. I've never won anyone to the Lord by calling them names. Jesus said in John 3:17 "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

well to be frank you should watch those MTV shows and all that junk that is playing on TV now a days where they call people worse things and they seem to be so entertained. Just look at the Ratings, I think people are so hungry to hear God's word. I don't think they mind a little bit of sincerity. I only hope there were more Keith Green's that would make a difference in this world.

@matthewwp56 it also says, by the measure that you judge you will be judged. sir, you seem proud, but know this, even in 36 years of ministering, the lord can bring you down like a child. don't be proud. i'm sure you know to be humble and to fear the lord. saying you walk in absolute power and dominion over this matrix, sounds like something a humble man wouldn't say jesus gives us authority over wickedness but you are accusing and lifting yourself up higher than you are.remember how pual talked

I found Keith after he had passed. I was amazed that someone else saw God the way I do. He was real with a real message. God is not to be feared. He is full of love and joy. We need to accept his hugs and proud smiles. This makes him happy...and me too!
LizzardLetteTainted7 2 years ago
@LizzardLetteTainted7 The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Almighty. Everyone is real; he was "Cool" is all; that's what evangelists do they make God approachable; but only in Christ; to even look upon the almighty is death to mere mortals.I fear heights and I haven't jumped off any buildings...fear aint all bad.
matthewwp56 2 years ago
@matthewwp56 I think you missed something about God in general in your all powerful mighty walk; the reason why God demands things from is BECAUSE he's a loving father. Just like a good and loving father expects great things out of His children, and God demands those things out of us, and gets angry when we act like a lazy bum. If a parent sees that their kid is acting like a bum while they're in their house, of course they'll kick them out, to see that maybe they'll get their butts to work.

I saw him at a small Bible Study, and I didn't know who he was. He was very genuine. Nothing "famous" or "celeberty" about him. Just another Jesus People person who really loved the Lord. After the Bible study he said, "God gave me a song, and I want to play it for you guys, but I want you to focus on the song, and not my playing." But his playing was so profound, I could not concetrate on the message.

I agree with matthew. I've been guilty of idolizing Keith and now I realize that nobody - not even someone as talented as Keith - is deserving of that. Yes, he seemed humble and he had a gift. But none of us knows what the Lord's verdict of Keith will be on Judgment Day. So give your admiration and "Idolatry" to Jesus only.

Yes, a sinner and if you read his biography, full of doubts just like the rest of us. For me, that makes his music even more inspiring, that it didn't come from some "superman" Christian, but from a stumbling, bumbling sinner, saved by Grace! I was lucky enough to see and hear him in 1976 and still have the tape I ordered from that evening. Talents come from God, eh?

I re-dedicated my life to the Lord Jesus on Sept. 29, 1980 at his concert at Knotts Berry Farm. I was supposed to attend the Debbie Boone concert but the Holy Spirit has something different in mind. I asked the Holy Spirit to baptize me and ever since then I have been a solid Christian. Keith Green is my spiritual father.

That year and the next were his golden most influential years for me also. I know this will be controversial but these years were his/ God's!! greatest until he ran into the likes of John Dawson and YWAM. He was never the same after.

What we need are more talented individuals raised in the entertainment industry to read Finney's revival lectures. Hopefully, they start taking Finney's Bible and revival instructions seriously, and then we'll have revivalists just like Mr. Green. Just think, you could have been ENTERTAINED now by Keith's 23rd album if Pratney hadn't directed Keith to read Wesley and Finney. Keith would have everyone read Revival Lectures if he didn't play piano. Why are you all gazing up into the heavens?

Keith was an awesome intensely devoted Christian. He was a force, an arrow in God's quiver who moved many people closer to the Lord. His preaching, before he met certain "love gospel" characters who subsequently persuaded him to water his (God's!) messages down, would break you down and cut you to the quick. After this, he would gently guide you back into even deeper closer fellowship with Jesus. God used him to empty you so that God could fill you back up with Himself.

My parents worked in the Christian music publishing business, and had a meeting with Keith at his home in Texas shortly before he died. They took a tour of the area in Keith's rented jet and everything. That was the same summer he died, in that plane when it crashed. It still upsets my mother to talk about Keith.
glaundry 2 years ago 4
It was such a great shock and a great loss. I'm sitting here now listening to his music and weeping. Keith was three years older than me and was the apple of God's eye. Two of his children died with him and we all wondered, Lord, how could you let that happen?" He was truly sold out to God as was/is his wife Melodie. He is still ministering from beyond.

"Lord, how could you let this happen?"
God gives us wisdom. It was not wise for Keith to overload his plane with too many people. The plane became unstable and crashed. When we do stupid things, we pay the price.
tazedbrotwo 2 years ago
The Bible is replete w/ incidents of God's chosen paying the price for poor spiritual decisions (maybe not so much for stupid things) from Sampson to David to King Saul. So maybe at the root of the overloaded plane was tempting God God or something. The only kinda stupid thing that comes to mind is the guy in the book of Acts who was at a prayer meeting/bible study, fell asleep and fell out of an attic window and died. I believe he was brought back to life. thanks for your comments.

Keith sings at 2:50 - Jesus saying:
"Well I hear you speak of grace and My love so sweet. . . how you thrive on milk but reject My meat. And I can't help weeping at how it will be if you keep on ignoring My word."
Jesus: still saying this today. Except now He is RIGHT at the door.
Unbelievers_P_L_E_A_S_E_ be ready for Jesus. Just love Him. Do what He says. Read His words, take them seriously by applying them to yourself - that shows a lot. Welcome Him into your heart.

Words of challenge for all believers to live by. We tend to latch onto rules and regulations but He wants our hearts. I was in a Sunday evening service many years ago when Keith played in his special way and called people to salvation. By the time it was over, about 150 people stood to accept the gift of life from Jesus. Then we all stood and joined Keith as he played The Easter Song! I thought the Lord was coming back that night.

What a prophet for the modern day church!
