God Loves You Just As You Are

Brennan Manning (1934-2013) was a well known author and public speaker best known for his book The Ragamuffin Gospel.  He penned the quote used in DC Talk's song "What If I Stumble?"...

 

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

 

He struggled with alcohol addiction most of his life.  In his end of life memoir, he confessed the following...

 

“I’ve been a priest, then an ex-priest. Husband, then ex-husband. Amazed crowds one night and lied to friends the next. Drunk for years, sober for a season, then drunk again.”

 

His persistent struggle with brokenness, while at the same time being fully loved and accepted by God formed Brennan into a man with a message that is deeply needed by addicts and betrayed, faithful and unfaithful, men and women... all of us.
