What's to say? Take a bit.

Yes it is sad that we have lost a genius an entrepreneur, and now the question looms who will take the place of the great Steve Jobs? Answer: no one. This is not a depressing thought, the computer industry if I can call it that is hanging over a cliff right now, don't be in denial about it. All those great ideas, all the great minds in the world..will the computer take the place of the tv, the radio? Has it reached it's climax? Will you be stuck with an iPhone, or an ipad forever kind of like the relics of the eight track, and the record, who will replace Steve Jobs? The answer to your question..technology is man made, man dies and so does the technology they create, it too dies. I bet you all had dreams of the future that far surpassed the Jetsons, but I have a good thought for you, "Have you ever thought about what has actually lasted through out the centuries and they are things we use today? Hint:

1. a good meal
2. music, which is constantly changing!
3. art and classical music.
4. books, the kind you pick up and read.
5. energy, from the aqueducts to modern electricity to the light bulb.
6. religion, all kinds!
7. philosophers and artist.
8. family and traditional and religious festivals

23. Money
24. Modesty
25. Frivolity
26. evolution of thinking.

32. new inventions
33. new inventors
34. comedy and tragedy
35. literature

Humanity will still be here with all of these things God willing long after you die, we don't know what a day will bring forth. As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes there is nothing new under the sun and there is a season for everything that we experience this side of heaven. Put down your computer and thank God that you are still alive. I'm doing that now.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

  Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.  1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

  When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives.   Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

  The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
