Thought for the Day
"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. "

In the Netherlands we are watching on the christian broadcasting the series of 3 famous non believing Dutchies who are on their search for God. The broadcasting on 5 evenings until Christmas is the outcome of a half year they walked with different people to challenge them in their search. I hope somebody did bring this quote to them in these previous months. Great quote!!!! Thanks for posting!
