possibly my favorite song of all time, “The Prodigal Son Suite” by Keith Green, tells the parable of the same name in Luke 15:11-32.
a man asked for his inheritance from his father before he’d even passed and then goes off to waste it all on worldly fun and fast friends. but when he runs out, he hits hard times and in his struggle, realizes his mistakes. he heads back home, hoping he will at least be allowed to work as a servant for his father. upon his arrival, his father rushes to meet him and the son confesses his sins and regrets. but the father is overjoyed to see him; he’s already forgiven him and throws a huge feast to celebrate his return to the family.
this parable is a beautiful picture of salvation and the heart of God the Father. the son didn’t deserve the celebration; he wronged his father and turned away from him. but the father still loved him and was ready and waiting to receive him back. the reconciliation only happened once the son acknowledged his mistakes and made the choice to return.
every one of us has sinned against God. and yet He still sent Jesus to die for us and pay for that sin in our place. He waits eagerly for us to repent (which means a change of mind) and turn to Him. His eternal gift of salvation is a gift of Grace, meaning it’s something we didn’t and can’t earn. like the father, Jesus waits with open arms to forgive us and receive us into His Heavenly family. and as Luke 15:7 says, “There is more joy in Heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God, than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!”
“We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty of sins.” (Romans 3:22-24)
(even greater than my love for the parable, is my love for the beginning and ending segments of music. it sounds so much like a Heavenly Homecoming to me, that i tried my best to incorporate that feeling into the ending.)

Quick Thought – Monday, January 29, 2024: God Is Worthy of Our Praise
Read
Psalm 47
Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
Job 32:4
Reflect
When I was a teenager, I one day discovered that there were people who actually spent all of their time making music that praised and glorified Jesus Christ. Up to that point, the thought had never occurred to me. Like most kids my age, I was into the music that ended up on Casey Kasem’s…

You Put this Love in My Heart

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. ~ Matthew 7:7-8“During your life, everything you do and everyone you meet rubs off in some way. Some bit of everything you experience stays with…

I had a friend who would pick me up when we went to college at a time when I wasn't a Christian, but he was a massive believer, and he would play Keith Green music every day. I wasn't particularly a fan of his music, his vibrato voice was kind of annoying, and my tastes were more in the punk angry rebellious vein (i.e. Suicidal Tendencies).
Looking back, I now understand that Keith Green represents something different and special. He was a gospel first, evangelistic Christian, and a "Christian music artist" second. His music represents an altogether different type of relationship with Jesus than what we hear with modern Christian music today. I think its more sincere, I can feel his brokenness and yearning for Jesus.
