With all the talk of spiritual warfare and demonic harassment in the last few posts (Christian testimonies), I thought I'd repost some songs from Carman. Older Christians will know who I'm talking about and might enjoy this blast from the past. And newer Christians might enjoy "meeting" him for the first time.
Yes, these are a bit campy, but they are fun and full of truth. And I think today's Christians could benefit from the spiritual wisdom of older believers like Carman - believers who understand the spiritual battle and how demons work and how Christians are supposed to fight evil. We've lost the knowledge of this over the years as Christians have increasingly viewed demons as legends, as mythical creatures who are way "out there" somewhere in the universe, instead of as powerful, living, active beings who are watching us, interfering with us, and attacking our minds and lives daily.
If we ignore the enemy, we can't fight him. If we don't know how the spiritual battle works, we can't win. If we don't know what our spiritual weapons are, we'll never take them up and use them. Wake up, Christians. The days are getting darker, and evil is spreading. Do you know how to battle it?

A Witch's Invitation - Love this one!
No Monsters - Carman knows the power of Jesus's name!
The Champion - This will always be one of his best!
Radically Saved (Live) - The whole hour-plus show. This is one of the first albums I got of his. And it's still one of my favorites. I've been listening to it a lot lately, so much that it's kinda driving my kids nuts.
Radically Saved (just the song)
