Have you been enjoying the World Cup? Fans from dozens of countries have packed the stadiums in South Africa, blowing vuvuzelas and cheering for their favorite teams. Hundreds of millions more have been watching live matches on their televisions and computers. Few events generate as much enthusiasm and excitement as the World Cup. Christians can learn from the passion of the world's soccer fans. We should be at least as excited about God's kingdom as a soccer buff is about a match between Slovenia and Algeria. This week we'll get excited about the things that God gets excited about. Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 6:12-23; Isaiah 1:2-23; Mark 9:2-8.

Next week LinC looks at what it means to see clearly, to live with open eyes, and to look at God's world with HD clarity.
