Terrorist or Sappy Spirituality?

"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. "

Yes, Dan, our concept of God and His nature is essential to our wellbeing. I am eternally grateful for the good instruction I have received at the hands of good pastors such as you and the other pastors of SGC. Thanks to you!!
