Lead With Love: Kevin Colon

Our church is heavily invested in church planting. Back in 2002 we helped Kevin and Amy Colón start Cool River Church in Superior, CO. I don't know Kevin or Amy personally but I have really enjoyed getting to know them through their blogs over the last couple of years.

Yesterday Kevin had a post titled "Lead With Love" that I thought I would share. An excerpt from the post is below. Click on the link to the left to read the full post.
Now that can be a challenge for some of us that grew up with the 'get the message out at all cost' approach. It may sound nice but it's actually not much like what Jesus was doing. Many people think that Jesus was just preaching and teaching away. But how do you think the crowds got there? Jesus didn't have a PR guy. He didn't have an email blast to send out. He didn't have billboards announcing he would be in town to speak the next Saturday. Nope. His life was so amazing, what he was doing was so full of love that people, he was such a blessing to those around him that the people HAD to get to him.
