I've been trying to read books this summer over break and i'm about half way through Messy Spirituality. This is just a quote that i came across today that i thought was good. (its in the book but its actually from Sacred Romance)
"From one religious camp we're told that what God wants is obedience, or sacrifice, or adherence to the right doctrines, or morality. Those are the answers offered by conservative churches. The more therapeutic churches suggest that no, God is after our contentment, or happiness, or self-actualization, or something else along those lines. he is concerned about all these things of course, but they are not his primary concern. What he is after is us -our laughter, our dreams, our fears, our heart of hearts." BRENT CURTIS AND JOHN ELDREDGE, SACRED ROMANCE
