I just ran across these good quotes from Rich Mullins; yes, again!
“I would like to encourage you to stop thinking of what you're doing as
ministry. Start realizing that your ministry is how much of a tip you
leave when you eat in a restaurant; when you leave a hotel room whether
you leave it all messed up or not; whether you flush your own toilet or
not. Your ministry is the way that you love people. And you love people
when you write something that is encouraging to them, something
challenging. You love people when you call your wife and say, 'I'm going
to be late for dinner,' instead of letting her burn the meal. You love
people when maybe you cook a meal for your wife sometime, because you
know she's really tired. Loving people - being respectful toward them -
is much more important than writing or doing music.”
“I have attended church regularly since I was less than a week old. I've
listened to sermons about virtue, sermons against vice. I have heard
about money, time management, tithing, abstinence, and generosity. I've
listened to thousands of sermons. But I could count on one hand the
number of sermons that were a simple proclamation of the gospel of
Christ."
“We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.”
Rich Mullins
