I don’t know if I would have stayed complacent in Christianity if I had not come across ministries like Keith Green. I don’t know. I’m someone who asks questions and not always happy with the answers. I also have a background that doesn’t challenge the status quo overtly and for all my questions and the like I am not one to go out on a limb for this, that or the other unless seriously provoked or convicted.
As it is songs like this from Keith Green will not allow me to accept complacency or even worse apathetic Christianity. Especially in the light of my journey where Jesus is never about accepting that which is, but looking for that which is to come, which the Kingdom represents, the church has to be more than a cosy social club for those who have a nice feeling about pretty songs. It’s as simple as this. Jesus did not die so that I could be comfortable in this life. That should stop me and others who are committed to the man with the name above all names to never be accused of being asleep in the light.
For His Name’s Sake
