Quote by Rich Mullins

“I think I would rather live on the verge of falling and let my security be in the all-sufficiency of the grace of God than to live in some pietistic illusion of moral excellence. Not that I don't want to be morally excellent but my faith isn't in the idea that I'm more moral than anybody else. My faith is in the idea that God and His love are greater than whatever sins any of us commit.”

Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken-hearted.”
