Rich Mullins - None are Stronger

Rich Mullins says in this video much of what I have tried to say in the blog.  Jesus said one time in Luke 16:15: "He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts.  What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight.""  He was speaking to Pharisees who were sneering at him as he had told his disciples that they could not serve both God and money.  The text says that these Pharisees loved money.  I think this is the spirit in which you should listen to what Rich has to say.  Men have all kinds of ideas about what the world needs, but God has his, and it is those we should follow and lay down our lives for.  He is the only one who has good news to give us that can our souls for eternity; governments and education can do nothing in this regard.  Yes, God CAN work through those institutions, but it is His people that are given the work and message of the gospel for the whole world.  And at bottom line, men's ways that are opposed to God's are, in fact, something He finds detestable.  That's a strong word, and so we better listen to what God thinks; He holds our fates in His hands, not men.  So, I give you, Rich Mullins speaking and sharing his song: None are Stronger.
