"There is only one treasure worth selling everything to have. The transcendent value of the kingdom of God's grace is equalled by its transforming power. This pearl of great value is like a Trojan horse of God's love. It comes into our lives ...to ... infiltrate every sphere of our lives and to liberate us not to love our lives so much as to shrink from death.
We will either be obsessed with smoking paper bags, making A's in seminary, making a lot of money, wearing a size 6 dress, building successful ministries, getting a record deal, retiring at age forty-five, getting on the mission field, ... having the perfect little Christian family - in short we will either be obsessed with ourselves or with the only magnificent obsession, the kingdom of God."
