On December 4 I had the privilege of sitting in a conference with Tom White and George Otis as they shared about their perception of what God is doing today. The place where we met was a Rodeway Inn, and functions to the world as a part of that larger chain. In reality, it’s a […]

Greece, if you remember, had a true democracy. In fact, you were required to vote. What happened in Greece? Why did their democracy fail? (Hey teachers! This is a good question for your students!)
The problem is that democreacy, wherever it exists, is a fragile thing. It’s easy to lose it. In Greece, very corrupt […]

Part II: The Strategy
