Rich Mullins - Creed (with introduction)

Got this from an old video I had in the loft. Never ceases in inspire me listening to Rich Mullin's understanding of Christianity, Sadly he died in a car accident on September 1997.

[@bamisike5743]

This man was deep and 50 years ahead of his generation.

The two of the purest hearts of musicians. 💖🙋‍♀️💖

And now Carman as well!

[@ColonelStraker]

Spot on!

[@RevDustinParker]

@@ColonelStraker Don't forget guys like Bach, Luther (wrote thousands of hymns) and Bede

[@ColonelStraker]

AWESOME and true

[@asundermom]

Rich Mullins was the very embodiment of christ like men. I was going to his concert the day he died. He was on his way here. I will forever remember the moment I heard he had been killed in the accident. He is my idea of what a christian should be. His songs touch me in ways no other christian artist ever has.

[@coffeebreak247]

That brings a person to their knees. You will forever remember that day.

[@skiddledede8885]

I do too! My kids loved Rich. He played and talked to our Wichita youth groups. He made faith real to so many of them. He lived at/near a publeo. Those are his students in the vid.

[@asundermom]

@@skiddledede8885 I am also in Wichita

[@k.d.5603]

@@skiddledede8885 Rich performed at a nearby church so our youth group went to see him. So incredibly grateful we did. There's a podcast on Spotify called 365 Christian Men. I listened to their show about Rich last week and it was really good. A lot of guests sharing stories about Rich and what brought him to the reservations he loved.

[@skiddledede8885]

@@k.d.5603 ....🙂 thanks for the info.

[@barbarasunday3514]

Brother Rich, you DID leave a legacy of joy that God has used in countless diverse ways. Thank you. Rest in Peace!

[@uk7900]

Yes, he certainly certainly did. I, as a school teacher, got to teach his precious songs and sing them at the top of our lungs with many many students. Thank you, Rich 😇 for your legacy

[@giof6754]

"It is the very truth of God, not the invention of any man." God bless you for those words. They ring true to my heart.

[@johncraft6603]

His music was part of got me through my wife’s passing and back into faith.

[@anitajones4899]

PRAISE GOD! 🙌💗

[@philmonk4159]

One of the best songs ever composed. See you on the other side Rich.

[@6CAJAC6]

Phil Monk I think a Dozen guys had got the inspiration for the Lyrics as a baptismal commission a long time ago

[@sharonschall9226]

That is precisely 👏 what you have done. I can hear Our Heavenly Father say, Well Done ~ FAITHFUL servant!

[@gw5309]

Such a good and decent spirit. I will never attain his level of devotion. My flesh restrains me. ✝️

[@thorn_in_the_crown]

Jim McManus - far and away, and for too many reasons to list here, I believe this is one of the single best music videos I've ever seen in my life.

[@latinainwpb]

I agree too, the music is very powerful, I'm mesmerized by how he played that hammered dulcimer. I think back in 1995 it was the first time I saw anyone play it and although now I've seen other artists play it I've yet to find a song that's touched me like this one has. He was truly talented, a precious gift of God. What still hurts me is the way he died. 😢

[@dannybelknap8926]

Awsome christain singer god knows every thing

[@14_gailkathryn11]

Thanks Rich, for always bringing me back to the straight path, in this crooked world. (RIP 10/21/55-09/19/97). U were a "good guy" both in flesh, and forever in spirit. I am so thankful for your God inspired legacy.

[@fryerlawrence]

Duuuuuude! Bruh! Thank you so much for your hard work on this! Just stumbled on this. I have (b)always(b) loved this song from the very first time I heard it many many years ago. Rich Mullins is still cutting edge because that beginning part of that message is a timeless classic!

[@imaramblins]

I'm a simple man. I believe what RM has to say here.... I'm gonna pray now.... I pray God gives me children... I'm middle aged, but it can still happen... I pray I can deal with children.. Even if I don't get them.. As in, in church, or other capacity... Because I haven't always liked them... I pray I can return to Jesus as I should... Because I should... I pray for the absolution of sins towards those who seek Him... Jesus forgive forever those who seek you... Like the thief on the cross.... Thanks Jesus... For eternity.... I'll see you there... Amen

[@14_gailkathryn11]

At end of intro, Rich talking about spirit, virtues + more, he says "that's when I believe Christianity really begins to make sense". Anyone else trust Rich 100+ % but still thinks Christianity in this world makes little sense? Maybe that's Rich's point? God makes sense, Man does Not...

[@JesseH]

I am deeply blessed. I have lived and have all the proof I need where I came from and where I am going. Glad to meet all of you along the ride 😊😎👍

[@DarinCampbell72]

Jim -- thank you for posting this. I had this interview on an old VHS tape but I lost it several years ago and haven't been able to find it again. This is one of my favorite quotes by Mullins. Thanks again.

[@mijymotor]

Thanks Darin, every time I listen to the intro, it's still fresh to me, to say it's inspiring is an understatement.

[@anitajones4899]

I love all of his music & still find it hard to believe that he's been gone for 24 years! So grateful that you posted this, Jim! It still seems fresh to me, too! God bless you! Looking forward to worshipping with him & all the Ragamuffins in Heaven! Thank you Jesus! 🙌 💗

[@gailsmilanich9272]

He has a documentary. His heart for Jesus is beautiful. His songwriting some of the very best!! So real, so raw, so powerful.

[@beckymartin1810]

So grateful to find this treasure. I look forward to meeting you Rich.

[@sharonschall9226]

I believe that this man's awareness of his marvelous 🙌 Companionship can infuse JOY into the grayest day.

[@shannonnonnahs6943]

His song The Color Green helped bring me to Christ back in 95' . R.I.P. Beautiful soul.

[@efish206]

Thank you so much for transferring this and sharing, Jim. I miss Rich and his music very, very much.

[@anitajones4899]

I agree! Such a humble man with a heart for God! He impacted the lives of so many people, & I don't believe he ever truly knew how much! So grateful I came across this! 🙌💗

[@jgrj52]

His death was the first time I remember seeing my parents cry

[@drwinston]

Here's hoping that the one soul that disliked this beautiful video and the expressions it makes of God's unchanging truth has since been overtaken by the love of The Hound of Heaven. Now Brother Rich is singing in the Presence of the God He so beautifully sings about here! I look forward to meeting him - but not yet.

[@peternotical5445]

The creed is the code and the code is the creed ..praise be tp god in all his heavenly glory

[@disicple40]

30 He must increase, but I must decrease The New King James Version. (1982). (Jn 3:30). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

[@jgil1966]

Agreed, he has such a pure and simple and clear and beautiful understanding of what being a christian really is i look up to him so much. God bless him

[@waynemurphy2594]

He would rather you look to the Spirit of God, not him. That was the message he just said

[@carlgois8579]

That’s what I was going to say, but you stole my thunder.

[@anitajones4899]

He was so humble & helped many of us get closer to the Lord! 🙌💗

[@heidihooper7924]

Thank you so much for adding that introduction. I have been spending the last couple weeks viewing all the interviews and such that I can find with Rich.

[@MoxieMike66]

I got introduced to Rich's music shortly after he died, I still have the Jesus Album CD set w/the Demos. I sang this song to my grandfather the night he died. I wish I could've met Rich.

[@stevenoffsinger2559]

Than you Jim for sharing this. Like Saul who became the Apostle Paul, we sometimes have virtues or ideals, even as Christians, that sometimes get in the way of Christ being Lord in our life and using us more fully for His purpose(s).

[@mijymotor]

Steve Noffsinger yea, a timely word. The talking bit at the start ALWAYS inspires me

[@jboehner5667]

God is Love

what a man

[@glenntungay5140]

'If my life is motivated by my ambition to leave a legacy, what I'll probably leave is a legacy of ambition'.

[@cyndilauren5744]

The Holy Spirit lit in Rich Mullins taught me intimacy in Jesus and in His Truth. And listen to Rich’s song about: when I leave I wanna go out like Elijah with a chariot made of fire. God granted him that wish. I went to his memorial grave site and sat there for three days where there Rich was buried even though they needed dental records to verify it was actually him.

[@anovino1992]

Why did you go to his grave site, and sat there for 3 days? Worshipping the dead?

[@judycharsley9985]

Life changing words

[@proverbs3-56]

[@auntsibby6810]

👊🏼 Bam!!

[@michaelcooper1079]

Grateful for the Father’s call and work in his life

[@anitajones4899]

I still miss him! His music helped me so much, once I finally surrendered my life back to Christ, back in 1993! I actually felt his spirit pass through me, when I was listening to his song, Elijah. Shortly after, they announced on the radio that he'd been killed in a car accident. I look forward to worshipping with him in by the Crystal Sea in Heaven! I have lots of his CD's & I truly love Creed! "I did not make it, no, it is making me. It is the very truth of God & not the invention of any man!" Thank you Jesus! 🙌💗

[@gwest120]

Excellent!

[@naomimassey6443]

So, i've recently become interested in the Catholic Church and have been learning their prayers, creeds etc. when i got to the Apostle's Creed, I was like "Hey!! i know that one!) I couldn't figure out how until this song came back to me! Then i did some research on Rich and realized he went through RCIA classes and had a deep interest in the Roman Catholics before he died. Which is awesome!

[@SpicyHobbit03]

The Catholic Church believes in Baptism of desire. I believe that Rich Mullins became Catholic in his heart and went to Heaven. This song shows that he had always struggled with the desire to become Catholic. Eternal Rest grant until him, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him🙏🏼

[@margaretmcguire3241]

He never converted to Catholic even though he attended mass on a daily basis. He wrote that song on the apostles Creed and they were not Catholic. It was the Romans that crucified Jesus. The Pope is a Luciferian. *Proof* kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqHRZHlsideVe7s God bless in Jesus precious name. 💕🕊💕

[@jsshay01]

Be very careful. There are no divisions in Christ’s Church. See especially Ephesians 4:1-6, also Galatians 3:26-28, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:37-39, Romans 3:19-24, and many more. Be very careful. There is only one God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. One way-believe in God, that Jesus Christ is His only begotten Son, Who was born of a virgin, lived, died for our sin, and rose again! He is now seated at the right hand of God. What sounds good is often not Biblical and unless one is born again and has the Holy Spirit living in them, he is not saved. See 1 John 5:11-13. Please be careful! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️🕊💕

[@thing7778]

Jesus is God! 1 God who is Father, Son, and Spirit! There are not 3 Gods! Jesus said if you have seen me than you have seen my father. They are 1.

[@lexifan23]

Nothing against the Catholic Church but a lot of other churches teach the Apostles Creed. I did not grow up Catholic but the church I grew up in said the Apostles Creed almost every Sunday, occasionally we said the Nicene Creed.

Jim - I can’t thank you enough for posting this video. I love Rich and his songs, this intro is too precious to describe it with words. I was deeply touched. God bless you!

[@wramsey2656]

Rich and his band singing of Christ is what led me away from Rock music to Christian music in the 1980's-90s. My wife and I saw Rich in Indiana one cold winter night and it forever changed us. I look forward to speaking with you Rich up above. Thank you Lord Jesus for servants like Rich.

[@michaelpritchett9856]

I bet if Rich Mullins was still alive today he might have his signature line of Hammered Dulcimers too bad Mitch McVicker told me all the ones he used have been sold already. Would’ve loved to buy one or them for under $500 if I could. Oh well I still can’t wait to meet him in Heaven.

Hey Jim, just saw this video it is wonderful! I would love to show it in our church's live stream. Do you have any idea how to do that legally?

Hi Dustin, sorry I don't know what you'd need to do to put it on your live stream legally. I found it on an old video tape and I love the guy and the wisdom so so authentic. God bless

Martha, I was at the Osage building paying my rent a woman I know asked me if I had a mask. I said my sister is sending one to me that my sister are making them for family members. She asked if you make them to sell and how much you would charge for them.

Nope. Close though. God is love. Big difference.

[@Tony-5000]

Steve, you sure have that right. HUGE difference.

[@Tony-5000]

Janeen, do you know the difference which Steve tried to point out? If sure do hope so. It's like the difference between knowledge and understanding... different. Good luck.

You sure did Rich. People still love and want to do your songs after all this time. You my brother set the standard. Tell the Lord good morning

And his teaching. I saw him a few months before he died and he taught more than he sang.
