Like a potluck, we will be bringing and sharing the "dishes" of God's Word that He prepared in our hearts. No one is greater of lesser at a potluck; just a loving sharing and discussion should ensue.

"At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

DO NOT QUENCH THE SPIRIT
"In the flow of the Spirit, it actually requires more mental gymnastics to walk down the wrong path than to walk down the right one. We disguise most of these gymnastics from ourselves, but they are there all the same. The first thing we must do if we are going to give in to temptation is wrapped up in the single word quench.
"God will never lead us to manage a desire in a sinful way. If I want to walk down the wrong road, I must begin by silencing God's divine voice within me. I must be careful not to pray about this desire with a submitted spirit. I must make sure I don't talk about this desire with wise friends who will hold me accountable. I must make sure I don't look carefully at passages of Scripture on the subject and reflect on them. I must do all these things without recognizing I am doing them. I must keep myself in a state of spiritual and mental vagueness where God is concerned.
"Do not quench the Spirit," Paul says. Any time I have a desire, the Spirit will prompt me to set it before God and ask the question, 'Lord, what do you want me to do with this?' Or I can simply ask regarding any course of behavior, 'If I walk down this road, where will it lead in the long run -- toward or away from the me I want to be?'
- John Ortberg, The Me I Want To Be

THE RIGHT CREDENTIALS
"At one point, Gideon had rallied 32,000 men to fight with him against the Midianites. But God told him, in effect, 'You have too many men for me to deliver the Midianites into their hands. Israel would only take the credit away from me, saying, "My own hand has delivered me."' So God pared them back to a mere 300 men, less than 1% of the original army! The reason Gideon succeeded was not because of who he was, but because of who was on his side.
"If you feel that you do not have the right credentials to do what God has asked of you, you are probably right. But if God has called your name, he will be with you. He may even send an angel to give you a vision for who you really are: a mighty warrior determined to do God's will, to take great risks, and to make the necessary sacrifices in his service.
"Lord, you know how weak I really am. I ask you to make my weakness raw material for your grace. Your power is made perfect in weakness such as mine. Thank you that you choose the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. Do great things in me, and then take your glory, Lord."

LOVE VS LOVE
"Romantic love is blind to everything except what is lovable and lovely, but Christ's love sees us with terrible clarity and sees us whole. Christ's love so wishes our joy that it is ruthless against everything in us that diminishes our joy. The worst sentence Love can pass is that we behold the suffering that Love has endured for our sake, and that is also our acquittal. The justice and mercy of the judge are ultimately one."
