In the Wreckless Raging Fury...

Remembered this classic from Rich Mullins today. What beautiful and sweet lines of theology... "glad to have been caught!"  

"The Love of God" -->


Glad abandon

“If we tunnel in to the very heart of Christian discipleship as articulated by Mark, we find, echoing the mission of Jesus himself, this startling principle: loss is gain. Death is life. Yielding all guarantees receiving all. Self-denial for the sake of the gospel is the secret to saving our life. This was the way the upside-down mission of Jesus worked out, and it is the path of discipleship for his people. Glad abandon is our only sanity" ”
