The God of Technology

American Gods

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.

When you think of idol, you think of a little statue. But idols can be anything that distracts or distances us from God. During Lent, we're going to look at some of the most popular idols in our culture. We'll see what they are, and how they pull us away from God. We'll also discover the better way God calls us to. Join us as we discover the identities of these American gods, and turn from them to follow the one and only true God.
