Messy spirituality.What happened when I went to church was they edited out all the stuff in the Bible so that when I heard the story of Noah I was always just thrilled to hear about this man who believed in God—the only guy who believed in God. They didn't mention that when he got off the boat he got drunk and got naked. They never told that. Thank God they didn't put that on a flannelgraph, but I'm here to tell you that I never heard that story. From a Christianity Today interview with Mike Yaconelli, the founder of Youth Specialties and author of the book Messy Spirituality: God's Annoying Love for Imperfect People. Here's a PDF file of the intro.
