Invention and Technology Aren’t The Answer

Daily writing prompt
The most important invention in your lifetime is…

What is life about? Neither knowledge, invention, technology, or AI have the answer to that question.

God commanded Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:17) The day that Adam and Eve ate from it they immediately experienced separation from God and hid themselves from His presence and from each other. (Genesis 3:6-10) Ever since then humans have been trusting in and priding themselves in knowledge (1 Corinthians 8:1-2) while hiding their heart from God and from each other. (James 4:1-2)

God sent Jesus to restore humanity to Himself by atoning for our sin, our disobedience, and our rebellion, through His death on the Cross. (Galatians 3:13-14) Now Christ offers to fill us with His power by living and working within us. (Colossians 1:27) Then we can “be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love,” (Ephesians 4:1-3) as we are led by God the Holy Spirit empowering and guiding us from within. (John 16:13)

True Christianity is so much more than religious words. (Matthew 15:7-9) It’s about bringing your heart closer and closer to God. (1 Corinthians 4:20) True Christianity is to let Jesus overflow your heart with His love day and night (John 7:38-39) until you radiate and demonstrate His presence and compassion (John 3:18) to everyone you meet. (Matthew 5:14-16) True Christianity is to humbly (James 4:6-9) live by continually eating from the tree of life. (Revelation 2:7)

Here’s your answer: Let the risen and present Jesus continually calibrate your thinking, feelings, and behaviors to move in sync with God the Holy Spirit.

May humanity find the answer before it's too late.

Naked creature
And his wife
Were obligated to
Start new life.

Placed in beauty
Under the sky
Through the years
They did multiply

Factories smoking
Sings of progress
Wanting more
And loving less.

Nuclear sandpaper
On the balloon,
One small rub
And boom.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
