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.

More quotes by Rich Mullins
God is a wild man...should you encounter him...hang on for dear life-or let go for dear life is a better way to say it.
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 is the music that we make, and the music that makes us.
Rich Mullins
Having grown up Protestant, I was unfamiliar with St. Francis. Then I watched the movie Brother Sun, Sister Moon... I just became fascinated with the character of St. Francis. What I saw in that movie was a man who had fallen in love with God, someone for whom God was everything.
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
We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.
Rich Mullins
The longer I live, the more I have the feeling like God looks down, like when you've just bitten into a vanilla ice cream cone, you just get the feeling God's going, 'Yes! He enjoys it, and I made his taste buds and I made vanilla and he's putting it together and he's experiencing what I created him to experience.
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
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
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
Usually when we do something to corrupt our lives, it's usually something to fulfill an ache that we have.
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
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
Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.
Rich Mullins
Love is found in the things we've given up, more than in the things that we have kept.
Rich Mullins
Ain't it funny what people say? Ain't it funny what people write?
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
I grew up hearing everyone tell me 'God loves you'. I would say big deal, God loves everybody. That don't make me special! That just proves that God ain't got no taste. And, I don't think He does. Thank God! Because He takes the junk of our lives and makes the most beautiful art.
Rich Mullins
The biggest problem with life is that it's just daily.
Rich Mullins
Never forget what Jesus did for you. Never take lightly what it cost Him. And never assume that if it cost Him His very life, that it won't also cost you yours.
Rich Mullins
