“In the gospel of the Lord Jesus, God speaks into the ear of his child more music than all the harps of heaven can yield. I pray you, do not despise it. Be not such dull, driven cattle that, when God has set before you what angels desire to look into, you close your eyes to such glories, and pay attention to the miserable trifles of time and sense.”

Charles Spurgeon, 1888

2 Takeaway Questions:

  1. Is this shiny new innovation shaping me into Christ’s image, or does it tempt me to feel more omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent?

  2. Does this technology draw me closer to real human connection, or does it make me more independent from others?

“In a technicized culture, communal ties are readily cut and replaced by technical or organizational relations. Love dies; empathy and sympathy and contact with the other disappear. Estrangement and loneliness increase.”

Egbert Schuurman, Faith and Hope in Technology
