The God of Technology
How often do we turn mindlessly to our technology - our faces buried in a smart-phone screen, the TV on during dinner, monopolizing our conversation. If we're not careful, technology can become a god, disconnecting us from each other, subtly teaching us that we don't need anyone else - not even God - to be whole and healthy. The first warning about the dangers of technology come at the beginning of the Bible. Let's look together at how we can make sure technology continues to be a tool and not a tyrant in our lives.

In a world increasingly divided and hopeless, even something as simple as respectful disagreement seems impossible. But the prophets who taught Israel how to long for the birth of the Messiah made bold promises: weapons formed into gardening tools; wolves and sheep living in harmony; deserts blooming. Such promises seem impossible – like pure imaginative fiction. But God’s promises aren’t fiction. They’re a future God is bringing into existence. Jesus birth proves God is with us, that God is working. We can have purified imaginations, see the world as it will be, and begin to work for that world now. What does it mean to be a people of Advent?
