Bart Millard on Pain
(Filed under: Spirituality)"Even with all the right Sunday school answers, sometimes the best thing you can do is be brutally honest and say, 'This hurts a whole lot and really ticks me off.' God is big enough to handle it."
-Bart Millard, lead singer and primary songwriter for MercyMe, the chart-topping Christian band behind the hit song "I Can Only Imagine." In the span of a few months before the release of their latest album, Undone, the band dealt with the death of nine people in some way connected to the band. (Source: CCM, May 2004)

I'd say that is the right Sunday School answer, isn't it? I mean, it's not like there's an "easy Truth" and a "hard Truth." There's just Truth.

I think he's getting at the stereotype and general idea in church that you can't talk about being mad at God. No, it's not a right thing, but it is something that happens in far too many churches.
