More quotes by 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.

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
I would love to be a Franciscan brother. Im just not sure I have the courage to do it.
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
Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.

After you're dead [...] it's not gonna matter if you have a few scars. It will matter if you didn't live.

You will never understand what you're doin'. But God does.
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
I did not read the Bible today. I am not very good at being religious and don't really feel too bad about not being too good. I do wish that I loved God and His creatures more.
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
Usually when we do something to corrupt our lives, it's usually something to fulfill an ache that we have.
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
You are not alone in the world. You are part of an ensemble.
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
And I believe what I believe / Is what makes me what I am / I did not make it, no it is making me / It is the very truth of God and not / The invention of any man.
Rich Mullins
The biggest problem with life is that it's just daily.
Rich Mullins
We are not saved because we're good. We're good because we're saved.
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
