Emily and I were talking after book discussion a while back… Wait, you probably don’t know who Emily is. She is the Resident Advisor to us Augustinians. Anyway, we were talking about certain “parables” that seem to be prevalent today. Here are a couple.

The Kingdom of God is like a business.

The Kingdom of God is like a monarchy.

Any others that are funnier or better?

UPDATE:  When I said the Kingdom of God is like a monarchy I meant it in this way.  “The Kingdom of God is like a monarchy, God makes me (the pastor) the leader, and I run the show as I see fit.”
