ILLUMINATION: A New Mental Map
To hold to a doctrine or an opinion with the intellect alone is not to believe it. A man’s real belief is that which he lives by. – GEORGE MACDONALD Illumination comes to us, if it comes at all, as a gift. I don’t know of a better picture of it than from the autobiography of […]

Making the world a better place — one neighborhood at a time
Leaving that meeting, we began to pray about what God was leading us to do next. As we began to talk to other leaders in our city, we found that many of them shared the mayor’s assessment. They saw that our neighborhoods were not as connected as they needed to be. The next time we […]

New Bible Study: Love Your Neighbor
In 2009 I (Dave) gathered a group of twenty lead pastors in the Denver area so we could think, dream, and pray about how our churches might join forces to serve our community. We invited our local mayor, Bob Frie, to join us, and we asked him a simple question: How can we as churches […]
