Singer, songwriter, author and Bible teacher Michael Card will speak at the 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services and perform in concert at 7 p.m. at the Ocean City Tabernacle this Sunday, Aug. 11.
In a career that took off with his debut album, First Light (1981), Card has recorded more 37 albums, authored over 27 books, hosted a radio program, and written for a wide range of magazines.
While he has penned such musical favorites as “El Shaddai,” “Love Crucified Arose,” and “Immanuel,” Card said he never imagined selling more than 4 million albums and writing over 19 No.1 hits.
The popularity of his work seemed a stark contrast to his goal in life, to simply and quietly teach the Bible.
And even as music provided him the opportunity to share insight gained through extensive research, writing songs alone limited what he felt called to share.
So, Card entered into book writing where he has garnered numerous awards as well as teaching, preaching, and conference speaking.
Card is a graduate of Western Kentucky University, where he earned his bachelors and master degrees in biblical studies.
He has also received honorary PhD’s in music and Christian education from Whitfield Seminary and Philadelphia Biblical University.
Ocean City Tabernacle features distinguished speakers every Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. through Sept. 8.
