Tony Reinke, On What Technology Teaches Us

“God deposited a wealth of innovations and technological potential into creation, not to lead us into temptation, but to reveal what we most love and where we place our greatest trust. That may be in God. Or that may be in chariots, missiles, cyberwar, vaccines, dataism, AI, or ani-aging discoveries. ‘Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God’ (Ps. 20:7). This is the human dilemma. Human innovation is a wonderful gift but a disappointing god. We cannot save ourselves. In the end, our innovations leave hearts unsatisfied, souls lost, and bodies cold in the grave.” (Technology and the Christian Life, pg. 192)
