  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Has anybody heard any of his songs? If so, what is your favorite song?

Rich Mullins was a great Christian artist...some people will debate some of his theology, but his music was truly special and he's definitely missed.

A lot of great songs were put out by him...my favorites are probably Elijah and My Deliverer...

Is Awesome God one of his songs?

Yes. Roman Catholics particularly like that song. I remember the hand gestulations back from Catholic high school. And I think Michael W. Smith did a requiem song of rememberance for the artist.

I only really started listening to Rich Mullins after he died. I have the last album. I love how it has the two CDs - the first is his version played alone on piano and taped in a church he would practice in. I think he just used an old tape recorder to tape it. I especially love how he applauds himself at the end. Always makes me smile.

I'm not familiar with his theology. Why the questions about it?!

Are you talking about The Jesus Record? If so, I have that one, and I love it!

I've never been a big fan of his voice, so I can't listen to him for long before his voice irritates me too much. But I enjoy Surely God is with us and My deliverer. I actually like the tribute album better than his original stuff, mainly because of the different people singing it. But no doubt he had talent.
