Dan Davis on Relationship

Dan Davis, long time friend of Pastor Craig and CCF spoke July 13th. I want to repeat here just a couple things he said, and encourage you to listen to his words and heart via CD or the web, again or for the first time.
He talked about what the Lord was doing in Austin, TX where he and Joann live. How does he know the Lord is doing something redemptive in his city? Because so many church leaders are coming together in unity.
He talked about what that looked like. Small groups where people walk deeply with each other, and meet in each other's homes. "People are looking for a safe place for relationships."
Neither your church, nor any institution is holding you back. You have the Spirit of God, the sovereign Lord, in you. You can do His bidding in His power. If you're willing and wanting to do so.
He shared so many good things, but I'll close with this one, and you can hear his message via the web or CD. Someone asked Lesslie Newbigin, the British Theologian, if he was an optimist or a pessimist? He replied, "I believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead."
Good answer! Good realization in which to live your life! Go in His power. Go with God. To your family, to your friends, into the world.
Blessings,
Dwayne
