Beyond Death: The Deconstruction Movement

A whole generation of people are walking away from external reference points offered by faith communities, and developing their own soul-esteem. I believe this is what Jesus was talking about when he compared the Kingdom of God to treasure buried in a field. The narrative goes that when the person realizes this, they sell everything they own in order to purchase this field that they might be able to dig for, find and legally take possession of the treasure. Soul-esteem is the treasure which is the germinated seed of the Kingdom of God inside every human heart, and ironically, many of us have to walk away from the scaffolding of the faith community, selling everything we have in order to buy what we need to finally lay hold of it.
