"GOD GAVE US THE BIBLE NOT TO PROVE
THAT WE WERE RIGHT ABOUT
EVERYTHING BUT THAT GOD IS RIGHT,
AND THE REST OF US ARE JUST QUESSING"
- Rich Mullins
James Byran Smith wrote an amazing devotional biography on Rich Mullin called AN ARROW POINTING TO HEAVEN (Broadman Press, 2000). Most people remember Rich as a powerful Christian singer. But what many people may not know is Rich was a radical lover of Jesus who lived among Native Americans for a while as he served the Lord. In Brennan Manning terms, Rich was a ragamuffin who loved other ragmamuffins.
Rich Mullins had a depth of quality to him that is difficult to put into words. I remember hearing him in concert one time and he spoke genuinely and deeply about God's love and brokeness and how God's Word defined him and everything around him. He was a man from Indiana who had both substance and character in the way he conducted the affairs of his life. May God raise up more disciples with soaring spirits and passionate love for the weak and downtrodden of society.
