“If we are sent, we speak something true and beautiful in the world, something people will cling to, something that will threaten the false religions, even false Christian piety.
Do you feel sent as a creator? Do you want to be sent? What might it feel like to be sent for a greater cause? What is the cause or meaning of your current work? What are you afraid of if you decide to be sent from God? Are you afraid your work will be cheesy? Are you afraid you will be ridiculed? Who are the great creators who have been sent who rose above trite artistic messaging? Rembrandt? Michelangelo? Handel? Perhaps there is a place for you amongst the sent.”
- Donald Miller
“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.”
- Thomas Merton
“The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould.”
- Oswald Chambers

Scriptures:
Jeremiah 29:5-9
John 14: 1-28
Peter 1:1-7, 13-16
2 Corinthians 5: 1-10
Quotes:
“People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.”
- D.A. Carson
“The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it.”
- Henri J.M. Nouwen
“If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.”

“This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.”
- C.S. Lewis
“God is not at a loss when He moves to bring us back to Himself. He can woo or whip, He can draw or drive, He can work rapidly or slowly as He pleases. In other words, He is free to be God! And in His own way, at His own pace, He brings us back.”
- Tom Wells
“Jesus Christ became Incarnate for one purpose, to make a way back to God.”
- Oswald Chambers
“God does the loving thing all the time, even when the loving thing will bring him pain, pain he’d rather avoid. And he does the loving thing because he wants to, because he loves his creation, and because he is love. God is not motivated by guilt, shame or even a sense of duty. He is only motivated by love.”
- Donald Miller

Matthew 6:7-15
James 2:14-20
I John 2:15-29
Quotes:
“I think a lot of us are not on a path; we’re in a rut. We have confused comfort with peace, belief with faith, safety with wisdom, wealth with blessing, and existence with life. And for many of us, our dreams will be buried under the epitaph, “I refused to let go of what I had.”
- Erwin McManus
“What I believe is not what I say I believe; what I believe is what I do. I used to say that I believed it was important to tell people about Jesus, but I never did. A friend kindly explained that if I do not introduce people to Jesus, then I don’t believe. Jesus is an important person. It doesn’t matter what I say. We live for what we believe.”
-Donald Miller
“The God of light insist on traveling into dark places; the God of peace continuously involves Himself in the wars of men; the God who is good engages the death of human evil. To follow Jesus is to enter the unknown to relinquish security, and to exchange certainty for confidence in Him”
-Erwin McManus
“By a Carpenter mankind was made, and only by that Carpenter can mankind be remade.”
-Desiderius Erasmus
“The temptation of the age is to look good without being good.”
-Brennan Manning

Ephesians 2: 1-10
Isaiah 45: 5-16
John 15: 9-17
Ephesians 1: 3-12
Quotes:
“How is it, that for many of us, being a good Christian is nothing more than being a good person? The entire focus of our faith has been the elimination of sin, which is important but inadequate; rather than the unleashing of a unique, original, extraordinary, wonderfully untamed, faith.”
- Erwin McManus
“Our idea of God tells us more about ourselves than about Him.”
- Thomas Merton
“To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love. Love is my true identity. Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character. Love is my name.”
- Thomas Merton
“Jesus Christ became Incarnate for one purpose, to make a way back to God that man might stand before Him as He was created to do, the friend and lover of God Himself.”
- Oswald Chambers
“Simone Weil was absolutely right- beauty and affliction are the only two things that can pierce our hearts. Because this is so true, we must have a measure of beauty in our lives proportionate to our affliction. No more. Much more. Is this not God’s prescription for us? Just take a look around.”
- John Eldredge
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
- Thomas Merton

120: Why We Do What We Do – Why Do We Gather At Church?
3_06_11
Scriptures:
Acts 2: 37-47
Matthew 22: 34-40
James 3: 13-18
Ephesians 4: 1-6
Hebrews 10: 22-25
Quotes:
“A child kicks its legs rhythmically through excess, not absence, of life. Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough… It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again,” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again,” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”
- G. K. Chesterson
“We only truly come to know ourselves in the context of others. The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves as we connect to others. Without community we don’t know who we are.”
- Erwin McManus
