Matthew 13:44

�The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field�and to get the treasure, too!”

Four Questions

What can I learn about God?
This verse is from the same passage as the one a few days ago about the Pearl. Again, I am blown away with the immense value of the Kingdom of God.

What can I learn about people?
This makes me think about the fact that there are people who see the value in the Kingdom of God and there are those that don’t.

What can I learn about me?
Hoepfully, like I wrote a few days ago, I will continue to value God and his work as something this valuable. I think of a lot of things as valuable, but not always the right things.

Connect the dots.
It has all pretty well been said.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
