More quotes by Rich Mullins
Psycho-babble is that language spoken by sailors who have become so interested in navigating their way around their boat that they have forgotten to read the stars and sea. They may be able to get from the galley to the head but will be lost in their journey from point to port.
Rich Mullins
I think a lot of parents hand people over a blueprint and say, This is how youre supposed to do it. And my parents, I think, kind of drew a picture and said, Heres the good stuff in life. How do you get there?
Rich Mullins
We never understand what we're praying, and God, in His mercy, does not answer our prayers according to our understanding, but according to His wisdom.
Rich Mullins
We are not as strong as we think we are
Rich Mullins
Theres a wideness in Gods mercy I cannot find in my own And He keeps His fire burning To melt this heart of stone Keeps me aching with a yearning Keeps me glad to have been caught In the reckless raging fury That they call the love of God
Rich Mullins
We are not saved because we're good. We're good because we're saved.
Rich Mullins
Faith without works is like a song you can't sing. It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine.
Rich Mullins
The biggest problem with life is that it's just daily.
Rich Mullins
I take comfort in knowing that it was the shepherds to whom the angels appeared when they announced Christ's birth. Invariably throughout the course of history, God has appeared to people on the fringes. It's nice to find theological justification for your quirks.
Rich Mullins
The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa- for he has so much to look forward to.
Rich Mullins
If you’re really looking for answers, look past me. But if you’re interested in how I got to where I am, I will be as honest as possible.
Rich Mullins
Look at us all - we are all of us lost and in all of our different ways of pretending, we all fool ourselves into the very same hell. Look at the cross - we are all of us loved and one God meets us all at the point of our common need and brings to all of us - all who will let Him - salvation.
Rich Mullins
There's a difference, you know, between faith and playing make-believe. One will make you grow. The other one will make you sleep.
Rich Mullins
And I really suspect that of all the things we think we want to know, the only thing we really want to know is that we are loved. And if Jesus means anything, he means that you are loved. I hope you know that. And I hope you stop worrying about all the stuff you don't know, because I don't think it amounts to a hill of beans.
Rich Mullins
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf. You have been King of my glory won't You be my Prince of Peace.
Rich Mullins
I think, writing-wise, I am probably more of a quilter than a weaver because I just get a little scrap here and a little scrap there and sew them together.
Rich Mullins
I think that of all the diseases in the world, the disease that all humankind suffers from, the disease that is most devastating to us is not AIDS, it's not gluttony, it's not cancer, it's not any of those things. It is the disease that comes about because we live in ignorance of the wealth of love that God has for us.
Rich Mullins
Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all. The mountains looks so big and my faith just seems so small.
Rich Mullins
I would love to be a Franciscan brother. Im just not sure I have the courage to do it.
Rich Mullins
It's not the job of government to help the poor. The church is the mechanism that God put on earth to help the poor.
