Mike Yaconelli Quotes About Grace

• The grace of God is dangerous. It's lavish, excessive, outrageous, and scandalous. God's grace is ridiculously inclusive. Apparently God doesn't care who He loves. He is not very careful about the people He calls His friends or the people He calls His church.

  Mike Yaconelli

  Gente, Gracia, Iglesia

• El cristianismo no consiste en aprender a vivir dentro de las líneas; el cristianismo consiste en la alegría de colorear. La gracia de Dios es lo suficientemente absurda como para aceptar como bello un coloreado que cualquier otro rechazaría por feo. La gracia de Dios ve más allá de los garabatos hasta el corazón del garabateador, un garabateador que es similar a los dos ladrones que colgaron de las cruces a ambos lados de Jesús. Uno de los dos le pidió a Jesús que por favor aceptara su vida garabateada y descuidada en el reino de Dios y Él lo hizo. Qué absurdo. Y muy buenas noticias para el resto de nosotros, garabateros.

• Nothing in the church makes people in the church more angry than grace. It's ironic: we stumble into a party we weren't invited to and find the uninvited standing at the door making sure no other uninviteds get in. Then a strange phenomenon occurs: as soon as we are included in the party because of Jesus' irresponsible love, we decide to make grace "more responsible" by becoming self-appointed Kingdom Monitors, guarding the kingdom of God, keeping the riffraff out (which, as I understand it, are who the kingdom of God is supposed to include).
