Copyright © 2013 by KingdomNomics Foundation, Inc. 6 1 Life’s Leading Indicators h et’s step around the corner of time, shall we? Let’s pay a visit to the next phase of your life. Why not? I have some ideas about the possibilities of everyday living. I’ve tried and experienced them myself, and I’ve seen them lived out by people I care about. I can predict what might be in store for you. As a matter of fact, I’ve made much of my living in the prediction business. I examine a stock, make an educated projection about its future, and invest accordingly. I’ve learned that the future of any stock is all about the people who stand behind it. So I’ve had to learn about people, too. I’ve had to observe their values and their habits. In both kinds of ventures — in the fates of stocks and people — there are what we call “leading indicators” that predict future performance . We look to certain factors to help us predict success. This book is all about the leading indicators of your life. These leading indica tors consist of a set of principles I’ve come to group under the title of KingdomNomics — the organ - ization of economics under the laws of God’s kingdom. KingdomNomics is more than theory. It’s a discipline committed to experiencing maximum returns in life and eternity. We all have time, talent, and treasure, and these are being consumed daily. The question is, by what? Are they being consumed for the sake of temporary pursuits, or toward things that are eternal? I think of daily time like daily bread. Eac h one of us has a “loaf” of time, if you will. Each day consumes one slice, and the loaf becomes smaller as time passes. We eventually realize this, to our dismay, and it becomes so very important to expend our given time wisely — to mak e our lives count for something meaningful. That’s what KingdomNomics concerns itself with: knowing and experiencing the benefits of joyfully trading earthly, temporary gratification for something that will last forever. KingdomNomics is living life by the principles defining value from God’s point of view w as outlined in the Scriptures. We apply these principles in the decisions that determine how we invest our time, our talent, and our trea sure, the “three Ts” of kingdom
