Brennan Manning and the “One Question”

Any Brennan Manning fans out there? Here is a little gem from a recent talk.

I especially appreciate his phrase, “we shaped our lives in response to your love”. Ask yourself the question: what shapes or forms you? Is it in response to Jesus’ love for you? Is it a motivation from God’s Spirit? -or- Does your motivation come from a sense of trying to earn God’s love or gain someone’s approval?
