men's retreat: "seek first the kingdom of god"

Dec. 6-7
Men’s Retreat
Seek First the Kingdom of God
“Repent! the Kingdom of God is at hand!” (Mk 1:15)
Brothers, Jesus told us to present His gospel by
proclaiming the Kingdom of God is at hand (Mt 10:7). He
commanded us to seek first His kingdom and then
everything else would be given to us (Mt 6:33) (From PM
Pamphlet Seek First the Kingdom). Are you living in the
Kingdom? Do you have Kingdom Vision? Come and see!

Human beings naturally imitate other human beings. We also are trying to "find ourselves." Imitation and attempts at self-discovery must necessarily happen simultaneously since we can't help doing either one. We unconsciously make self-discovery our goal and imitation the means. It may seem contradictory to try to find ourselves by imitating someone else, but we can't help it. This explains the need for gangs, cults, sports teams, and role models. The natural, irrepressible desire to find ourselves by imitating others is called discipleship. Naturally we all are disciples, and naturally discipleship is bound to fail, for imitating others, especially in a "culture of death," is not discovering ourselves but losing and confusing ourselves even more. The only exception to this is Christian discipleship*—imitating Jesus Who is the perfect Image of the Father in Whose image we are made. Thus, imitating Jesus is finding ourselves.
