I like this quote from Brendan Manning posted by our son last night:
“I
want neither a terrorist spirituality that keeps me in a perpetual state
of fright about being in right relationship with my heavenly Father nor
a sappy spirituality that portrays God as such a benign teddy bear that
there is no aberrant behavior or desire of mine that he will not
condone. I want a relationship with the Abba of Jesus, who is infinitely
compassionate with my brokenness and at the same time an awesome,
incomprehensible, and unwieldy Mystery. ”
