Thought Quotient

Today when I awoke, I found some time to read his Word and I feel so much calmer. I’m just glad God is never too busy to spend time with me.

This week, “The Logan Show” cast and crew are joined by legendary musician and evangelist Carman for the show’s season three finale episode. For over 26 years, Carman has crossed generational, denominational and cultural lines to entertain, encourage and preach the Gospel to millions. In addition to numerous Grammy nominations, Dove Awards and gold and platinum selling albums, this industry pioneer also received a coveted spot in the “Parade of Champions” at the Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y., as well as the prestigious Humanitarian Award from the House of Hope for his strong Christian example and for being a positive role model for young people and their families. Carman’s uncompromising call to take the Gospel to every person remains the hallmark of his life and ministry. For more information about Carman, visit http://www.carman.org.

Stellar Kart’s We Can’t Stand Sitting Down is full of songs that encourage young people in today’s culture.  The songs have a directly simple yet powerful message that every heart is longing to hear - the heart of the Gospel - the heart of who Jesus is.  The sound is like a double espresso that’s jolting and refreshing at the same time . 

One song is titled “I Want To Live Like Today Could Be My Last Day”.  Who hasn’t thought that at some time or another?  Stellar Kart explores the idea deeper with lyrics like

“live like today could be my last day, give all I have before its’ too late”

“Hold on to Me” whispers “if the stars don’t shine tonight, …if your hope is running dry, hold on to me .. with everything you have”.  It is a song you’ll turn up loud when you’ve had a bad day - when you need to know that Jesus is close even when it seems like you’re alone.

Stellar Kart’s We Can’t Stand Sitting Down is thoughtquotient.com’s CD OF THE MONTH.  Its the kind of music you bought you drive to [with the CD player ALL the way up].

Your heart aches for all the lost and hurting
At the cross you wait to take our burdens
Longing to heal our wounds and make us whole
Longing to hear us sing with thankful souls

The greatest gift I’ve ever received
Is the cross, the cross
For there you gave Yourself up for me
On the cross, the cross
And with the blood you poured out for me
You have saved my soul
You have given me the greatest gift of all
