“I'm unfinished. I'm unfixed. And the reality is that's where God meets...” — Mike Yaconelli Quote

“I'm unfinished. I'm unfixed. And the reality is that's where God meets me is in the mess of my life, in the unfixedness, in the brokenness. I thought he did the opposite, he got rid of all that stuff. But if you read the Bible, if you look at it at all, constantly he was showing up in people's lives at the worst possible time of their life.”

“Americans have perfected the art of reducing complicated truths into formulas and products. We're desperate for instant, visible, measurable ways of knowing God, instead of trusting that it's complicated and a mystery.”

“The Bible is plain that God requires moral perfection. It tells us unambiguously that God is holy and therefore cannot tolerate any hint of unholiness.”

“But the God of the Bible is not only One, but the only possible One.”

“We focus, in some ways, on how to disengage Jesus and the Bible from everything people know about Christianity as a religion.”
