...what are you doing to pour yourselves into our future church leaders who will set examples, for better or for worse, for generations to come?
The filthiness of our national politics has brought to my mind a question put to me nearly 20 years ago by one of my teachers. “Don’t you think there is more lying in politics than there used to be?” he asked. “Why do you think that this is happening?”
At the time, young oaf that I was, I thought his question silly. But after thinking lo these 20 years, I would like to try to answer it.
We’re reading your book The Treasure Principle and loving it by the way, but using the example of the buried treasure in the field at the beginning—got me wondering about something else.
I know the parables Jesus used were ones the people could relate to. The parable of the man who finds the treasure in a field he doesn’t own, hides it away, then without telling the owner or anyone else—buys it so he can possess the treasure.
What gives with this example? Is it a cultural thing? Was there a kind of “finders/keepers losers/weepers” clause for the day since people buried stuff a lot?
My wife and I do not feel called to have children. I’m 42, and she’s 40. We both have fulfilling career ministries and I’m wondering about getting a vasectomy.

I was challenged to explain why prolife people can be for war that kills some innocents (for the good of the situation and others lives) and not see the parallels in embryonic stem cell research for those whose lives would be protected and health cured. I would love to know your take on this.
Conservatism is popular among American evangelicals. In the moral realm that encourages me. In the political realm, I have mixed feelings.
