Today, July 28, marks the 28th anniversary of the day when Keith Green went home to be with Jesus. He was only 28 years old. He died before I was even born.

As I reflected on his life this morning, I remembered the first time I heard Keith Green’s music. I remember being offended, but strangely drawn to continue to listen to his music. It wasn’t necessarily his music that drew me in, but his gut-wrenching, yet satisfying lyrics. Quickly that offense turned to conviction as Keith’s raw lyrics tore through my soul and drew my attention to Jesus in loving repentance.

Today, in memory of Keith’s life, Last Days Ministries is hosting a live webcast with Melody Green, John Dawson, and Loren and Darlene Cunningham at 6:30pm CST calling people to a deeper walk with Jesus. For more information, click here.

Few men or women have carried the same sharp prophetic sword in worship and music that Keith carried so many years ago. May the Lord raise up many women and men to carry on his legacy of prophetic worship. And may they love not their lives even unto death as they carry it to the hardest and darkest places of the earth exalting the worthiness of the Lamb of God.
