Mike Yaconelli Quotes About Jesus

• The power of the Church is not a parade of flawless people, but of a flawless Christ who embraces our flaws. The Church is not made up of whole people, rather of the broken people who find wholeness in a Christ who was broken for us.

  Mike Yaconelli

  Jesus, Power, Broken

• La velocidad daña nuestras almas porque vivir rápido consume cada gramo de nuestra energía. La velocidad tiene un rugido ensordecedor que ahoga las voces susurrantes de nuestras almas y deja a Jesús como una mancha decreciente en el espejo retrovisor.

  Jesus, Mirrors, Voice

• Religious people love to hide behind religion. They love the rules of religion more than they love Jesus. With practice, Condemners let rules become more important than the spiritual life.

  Spiritual, Religious, Jesus

• 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.

  Beautiful, Jesus, Heart

• 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).

  Jesus, Party, Doors

• Quiero toda una vida de momentos santos. Cada día quiero estar en peligrosa proximidad a Jesús. Anhelo una vida que explote de significado y esté llena de aventuras, maravillas, riesgos y peligros. Anhelo una fe que sea gloriosamente traicionera. Quiero estar con Jesús, sin saber si llorar o reír.

  Jesus, Adventure, Knowing

  Michael Yaconelli, Mike Yaconelli (2000). “Dangerous Wonder: The Adventure of Childlike Faith”

• Spirituality is a mixed-up, topsy-turvy, helter-skelter godliness that turns our lives into an upside-down toboggan ride of unexpected turns, surprise bumps and bone shattering crashes ... a life ruined by a Jesus who loves us right into his arms.

  Mike Yaconelli

  Jesus, Bumps, Arms

• What landed Jesus on the cross was the preposterous idea that common, ordinary, broken, screwed-up people could be godly.

  Jesus, Godly, Ideas

• Sin does not always drive us to drink; more often it drives us to exhaustion. Tiredness is equally as debilitating as drunkenness. Burnout is slang for an inner tiredness, a fatigue of our souls. Jesus came to forgive us all of our sins, including the sin of busyness. The problem with growth in the modern church is not the slowness of growth but the rushing of growth.

  Jesus, Rushing, Soul

• Jesus cares more about desire than about competence

  Mike Yaconelli

  Jesus, Desire, Care

  Mike Yaconelli (2009). “Messy Spirituality”, p.25, Harper Collins

• La Iglesia es el lugar donde los incompetentes, los que aún no están completos e incluso los que no están bien son bienvenidos. Creo que Jesús está de acuerdo.

  Mike Yaconelli

  Jesús, Creer, Iglesia
