This is a subtitle for your new post
Luke 12:34 - "Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be." (NLT)
If your home catches fire, what is the one thing you would grab before running outside?
What holds the most value to your heart?
What can't you live without?
What is worth risking your life?
For security expert Will Sawyer, such a decision comes easily. Above all, he values his family. Skyscraper is an exciting story exploring the lengths a good man will go to save his beloved family from a burning building. Not just any building.
The Pearl, a 225 foot skyscraper, is a revolution in technology, security, and community. It is a city within a building. It also harbors a dark secret. Locked in the penthouse's safe is a flash-drive that incriminates a dangerous criminal, exposes all of his associates, and details their assets.
For the public, it is a beacon of hope and a symbol of advancement. For engineer Zhao Long Ji, it is a measure of profit. For criminals, it is an obstacle in the way of their preservation. For Will Sawyer, it is an employment opportunity. For It is a building filled with all manner of material value, but one fire threatens to destroy it all. It is reduced to a fiery prison. Opportunity becomes dangers. Hope becomes devastation.
2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." (NLT)
Still, Sawyer is not distracted. He remains firm in his goal. He knows what he values most. He would risks everything to save his family no matter the threat, obstacle, or temptation. Ji values security. The gang members who start the fire value privacy and profit. Sawyer values love and life. He values his family. He is a hard worker. He sets a good example for everyone around him. He is the beacon of hope.
Buildings can be rebuilt. There is always money to be made. Opportunities avail themselves around every corner. One thing that is not replaceable is the life of another. Sawyer can't replace his wife and children. He is a reliable man. He is a strong man. He is a man who loves unconditionally.
1 Peter 4:12 - "Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you." (NLT)
If your home caught fire, what or who would you save?
