I was on a long fast just hanging out with the LORD and writing in my journal when I asked Jesus what He wanted to listen too. He replied, "The Love That Knows No Bounds". I looked it up and Rich Mullins popped up and the anointing of his worship flooded my room and I've loved his music since. Boy does Jesus have a good taste of music or what?!?! God Bless you all in His LOVE AND GRACE.

I am moved every time this is shared. Rich was a special person and his ministry is missed still in 2022. I am thankful he was at least conventional enough to allow CD's of his music so I can still have concerts in my car.

My children were raised on mainly Rich's music. I understood then that it was about getting it into their spirit even if they didn't quite understand it yet. Two of my four have told me when they need help it's Rich's music they play. Now their children know How songs. I miss him but God has shown me time and time again a connection back to Rich in some unbelievable ways. He touched more than anyone will ever know! Thank you Father for leading me to Rich in such beautiful personal ways that are only between me and you Father. What a beautiful vessel he was/is and will be when we all meet together again when we all go home.

As I was seeking the Lord about this terminal illness that is opressing me, a faint few notes from "My Deliverer" came to me the other night. I haven't heard that tune in over 25 years! I never memorized the song. I found it on KZread and my Lord JESUS gave me so much HOPE through that song. Rich, I hope you know that your LORD JESUS is using this song - even today, here on earth, in 2023 to give those who are opressed, much HOPE!

First found this film on VHS in our church library almost twenty years ago. And now Rick Elias has gone to the Lord as well. If this film doesn't make you examine your own life you aren't really paying attention.

I love Rich Mullins...can't wait to worship our Lord and King, Jesus Christ, with him in Heaven!!❤❤❤

He is still planting seeds

"In Love's service, only wounded soldiers can serve..." Rich Mullins, I never knew you but your songs with the Ragamuffin, Richard Card did something to me growing up and even now... ...thank you for living Christ Jesus while you were here...

I listen to a lot of different music, but I always come back to Rich. When I need to slow down and get in a mental posture before God, his music always helps me. My biggest take away from rich's life was his relationship with God. It took me a while to learn what unconditional love really means, but when I grasped the concept, it was ultimately freeing. I could write a novel about the emotions and thoughts I feel from his music and life. I don't think any Christian really means to fall into the trap of being comfortable. It's just our nature. And yet, Rich looked more alive and content than most other Christians I know today. I don't think he meant to be an example, but he certainly is. What a guy...

This is a video I come back to every few years. I love Rich Mullins and how he put words together with so much meaning. And the spirit that comes through. So annointed

I've lost track how many times I've seen this, it's ALWAYS fresh, anointed, so thankful for Rich's legacy of love, I too listen to a variety of music but this music moves my soul, focusing on the main thing in life, Jesus, to know Him🙌🏼📖🙏🏼✝️

Most beautifully broken man who truly Loved Jesus❤

So awesome when you post

Thank you for putting this together.

Yes, I needed to see it this day. I have seen it before. Such heartwarming comments from those who knew and loved him. It would have been an honor to know him and his world. He is gone too soon but I am glad he was spared so much. Looking forward to meeting with him one day. Thank you for sharing this video. It is a blessing. Namasre

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. For a couple years there, it had been removed from KZread yet it was my favorite go-to video!

l love How he shared things and then gave us such heart felt songs. They have lifted me up in his love for God and people. I hope you keep sharing these treasured memories. I thank you all that knew him and that have shared your stories too. 💕

These so-called "Christians" and evangelicals today, have so much to learn from Rich.

God has his reasons. The Lord let Rich be here and teach us how to praise the Lord. God was ready for him weather we like that or not. We have a time also. So sing sing sing to the Lord everyone!!!! Rich would sing. We need to sing. King David sang. I met Rich after a concert in line for an autograph. We laughed. He was nice. Listen....when God uses you it just happens. God is very much alive.

Listening to the story of this broken man gives hope to the broken. God can and does do beautiful things with and through broken people.

The first song I heard was "hard to get," and it made me cry. I've been hooked ever since. The newer biopic made him sound horrible. He has some of the most emotionally uplifting music I've ever heard. God bless you all!

I saw this months ago, powerful testimony!

Homeless man.

Always like new. I often wonder how folks here are doing today. So I pray for you all..

AWESOME! Thanks for posting this!!!

Same here. I have no words to describe what Rich's words and songs have meant to me. First time I heard his songs were in 1999. He helped shape my own thoughts into words. And present it safely to the Lord after I had rejected Him.. Michael Card's Why? from the albums Joy in the Journey, and Poiema. And any music😅 .. by Fernando Ortega..

Only know of one other with the gift of writing and singing their own songs with the ‘measure’ of anointing that he (Rich) had.And that man is Bryan Duncan🤗👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️ God is still using Rich in Heaven.

Really cool

The movie ‘Ragamuffin’ really impacted me. I’d never heard of Rich Mullins before the film. His struggles in life and his relationship with his father I could relate to. It was also through the film I found out about Brennan Manning. Through the movie I got the impression that Rich lived a wild life and he saw God as a wild God that couldn’t be tamed. I like that, I relate to that. People see me as a rebel, one who goes against authority but I believe Im not a rebel but a man who cannot be tamed, I wear the train wreck of my life on my sleeve and I don’t wear a mask. I sense Rich was like that.

God loves all of us

Love

Always challenging us to dig deeper, trust wholly, live more fully the life of faith. Rich, thanks again for your example of offering ourselves to Jesus. Jesus, thank you for life!

He was such a hippie. Reminds me a lot of Keith Green. Both guys were gone so early, but I think it was meant to be. Believers need other believers like this in our lives. They help us to get out of our comfort zones, which is often the hardest thing to do.

He exposed how critical and judgmental most Evangelicals are.....I like that about him. An alcoholic and chain smoker God used in a big way.

Rich had the soul of a prophet.

This may drive me nuts guys.

R.I.P. Rich, Rick, and Brennan

God has taught me… ok

Amein Amein Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried

Beautiful quote of Rich Mullins copied from Purposeful Singleness website. Rich said: “Jesus said, ‘Whatever you do to the least of these my brothers, you’ve done it to me.’ And this is what I’ve come to think. That if I want to identify fully with Jesus Christ, who I claim to be my Savior and Lord, the best way that I can do that is to identify with the poor. This I know will go against the teachings of all the popular evangelical preachers, but they’re just wrong. They’re not bad, they’re just wrong. Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.”

He sang for the poor and the lost. He sang for those who were abandoned by organized religion and Bible thumpers and charlatans.

*He was an alcoholic. The Bible says all drunkards will not inherit the Kingdom of God* He was a great singer....full of BS with his Christian beliefs. Great guy....other than his beliefs that the Bible is the true word of God. The Bible has over 1000 contridictions. Be sober minded...then why drink any alcohol...if even a little will not keep your mind sober.

Paul also told Timothy to “take a little wine for your stomach” but you are right every Christian is a low-down hopeless sack of contradicting horse manure of which I am the biggest. In fact, the Bible doesn’t just call drunkards hopeless but also the rich, the poor, the porn addict, the perfectionist… “all have sinned and fall short” I’m sure you know it says. I think that’s why I love the Bible because it is filled with stories of the worst of us doing horrible awful things and yet it is a story of God’s never failing always and forever love: the reckless raging fury they call the love of God. So, I’m sorry if it’s let you down somehow. But I’ve found it to be the most human and divine words I’ve ever read which sounds a lot like Jesus and a lot like us. “So, of all the religions in the world, if you want one that makes sense, I’d try anything else, but if you want one that gives life: I think you’ll find it right here.”
