When really weak in ourselves, and conscious of that weakness, we are in the state suited to the manifestation of the power of God. When emptied of ourselves, we are filled with God. Those who think they can change their own hearts, atone for their own sins, subdue the power of evil in their own souls or in the souls of others, who feel able to sustain themselves under affliction, God leaves to their own resources. But when they feel and acknowledge their weakness, he communicates to them divine strength.

INGREDIENTS

2		Ff flour tortillas
1	ts	Chipotle pepper paste (adds smoky complexity) (homemade w/pepper, onion, garlic, sugar, water)
2	tb	FF monterrey jack cheese, or so
6		Mushrooms, coarsely chopped, or so
2	tb	Mashed cooked sweet potatoes, or so

INSTRUCTIONS

(I had some baked sweet potato cooked with a smidge of maple syrup left
over)
Heat oven to 375. Spread chipotle paste on tortillas, then layer half the
cheese, 'shrooms and sweet potatoes (kinda centered), the rest of the
cheese, then the other tortilla.
Smush (a technical term!) together a bit. Dampen the outsides of the
tortillas to help get crispy. Put on the oven rack for 10-15 minutes,
turning halfway through.
Let the quesadilla cool a bit before cutting or eating. It lets everything
get a little harder and is easier to handle.

A Message from our Provider:

“There’s hope. There’s God.”

To love this God means, among many other things, that we will be hungry to get to know Him better; conversely, in learning His words and ways, His attributes and His glory, what He loves and what He hates, we will find that our understanding of what it means to love God, what it means to love enemies, what it means to love brothers and sisters in Christ, will all be progressively modified and enriched. Precisely because, as created, dependent, and redeemed creatures, we are called to love our Creator, our Sovereign, our Redeemer with heart and soul and strength and mind, we will be firmly led to think robustly about what He is like, how He views evil, what rights and responsibilities He gives to the state in a fallen world, His role both in making peace and in judgment, and, above all, His commitment to His own glory as God.

D.A. Carson

Where there is no “moral gravity” – that is, no force that draws us to the center – there is spiritual weightlessness. We float on feelings that will carry us where we never meant to go; we bubble with emotional experiences that we often take for spiritual ones; and we are puffed up with pride. Instead of seriousness, there is foolishness. Instead of gravity, flippancy. Sentimentality takes the place of theology. Our reference point will never serve to keep our feet on solid rock, for our reference point, until we answer God’s call, is merely ourselves. We cannot possibly tell which end is up. Paul calls them fools who “…measure themselves by themselves, to find in themselves their own standard of comparison!”
