Abstract

Could it be that we lack sufficient trust in God and passion for the gospel? Did our forebears who dreamed big and created enduring institutions—do our contemporaries who have accomplished large-scale change—cultivate a trust and passion that we lack?

Not all big dreams involve scale and scope, as God repeatedly displays in scripture. A big commitment can be found in something simple and plain. The issue is what we dare hope God might be able to accomplish in the world, in our lives and in our work together. Are our dreams too small?
