Messy Spirituality - Michael Yaconelli
*What landed Jesus on the cross was the preposterous idea that common, ordinary, broken, screwed up people could be godly!
*What drove Jesus' enemies crazy were His criticisms of the "perfect" religious people and His acceptance of the imperfect nonreligious people. The shocking implication of Jesus' ministry is that anyone can be spiritual.
*Spirituality is not a formula, it's a relationship. It's not about competency, it's about intimacy. Not about perfection, but about connection.
*Spirituality is not about being fixed; it is about God's being present in the mess of our unfixedness.
*Messy Spirituality is the delirious consequence of a life "ruined" by a Jesus who will love us right into His arms.
