Someone sent me an email with a cool powerpoint show that included an interesting analogy about community. They wrote “This relates to what you are talking about at church during the CONNECT Forty Day Spiritual Adventure.”

Individualism has lead us to believe that we can do it alone. That is just not true. You can never be all that God wants you to be without (more…)
