I think their best song was "Casual Christian." You never hear it anymore, but it should be one of the all time greats in Christian music.

Agreed!

Dana Key, who with musical partner Ed DeGarmo formed one of the great rock bands in CCM history, died of a ruptured blood clot Sunday night at the age of 56, according to CCM's website and various other reports. In recent years, Key was a senior pastor at TLC Community Church in Memphis, Tenn., which was his and DeGarmo's hometown.

Christian musician Todd Agnew, whom Key signed to Ardent Records some years ago, wrote on his website that Key was "a believer and proclaimed Jesus Christ. Dana was a mentor and role model to me. There

"Are you ready?" and "I'm accepted" are other classic songs. And I absolutely love the sold-out lyrics of "casual Christian"! I remember their beginnings. One of my first cassettes by them had a song called 'long distance runner." I also was blessed by Dana Key's solo music, later.

Eric Clapton lost his little son in a tragic accident & wrote a song about it called, "Tears in Heaven." In a loving response to this, Dana wrote Eric a song called,"Dear Mr Clapton." ( If you have never heard it, I would highly recommend it. I thought it was so touching and powerful. )

I still have "The Pledge" patch with the words "He Died For Me, I'll Live for Him" on it. Enjoyed some of his music over the years.

Look forward to talking to him one day in eternity.

Something his daughter posted on Facebook. I highlighted some that stood out to me.

My Daddy's Life Principles

These were some of my Daddy's Life Principles...

Life Principles

You grow proportionally to how much you give.

God does not require us to achieve perfection in this life. He requires us to change direction.

Unbelief is not a matter of the intellect but the will.

No person, no position, no possession can give you joy, only Christ.

The primary mission of the Bible is not information; it is transformation.

No one can take your joy, but you can give it away.

God knows best, does best and deserves our best.

Purity in the heart produces power in the life.

If you teach children they came from monkeys then don
