Douglas Adams, an English writer, once wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Anything that is in the world when you\u2019re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Anything that's invented between when you\u2019re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Anything invented after you\u2019re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has proven mostly true for me. As someone who grew up with the internet, I\u2019ve found it mostly useful and normal. I also make a living using the internet and the Microsoft Office suite of apps. As someone north of thirty-five, I\u2019ve found myself more disturbed than encouraged by new technological advances such as in the fields of AI and social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an ever-changing world, I\u2019ve found that the way I judge the world seems based on what I\u2019m used to and familiar with. But is this an accurate way to judge the world and where it\u2019s headed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this edition, we begin with Byron\u2019s piece on keeping a cohesive viewpoint in a world of growing complexity. His work is a philosophical piece relevant for the times we\u2019re in, especially within multicultural contexts. How do we follow Christ and form and hold ethics in a world where our beliefs can so easily clash with others? Does morality follow form?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following his article, we have a piece by Lilia which stretches how we see work. How can we see work as worship in ways beyond just a financial aspect or separate part of our lives? Can being members of the Kingdom of God be holistic in all areas and aspects of our lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tiffany then has a piece which asks us, how can we see life in Christ through the lens of psychology? What does the gospel look like through the ideas of psychology?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, we end with a short note on moving forward into 2026. In a time of wars, large-scale change from emerging technologies, and political instability, we feel it\u2019s important to be reminded of the three things that remain: faith, hope, and love. Are we ready for a time when we may be called to patient endurance to keep God\u2019s commands and remain faithful to Jesus, even when all seems contrary to His will being done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May God grant us the strength to remain faithful to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
