Thanks Steve!

Steve Jobs, founder of Apple died today. When I first heard the news, I thought - The world has lost a true genius! He was the Edison of our time. His contributions to the world reshaped how we do life. My Mac, IPad and IPhone that I use every day to stay connected, creative and competitive are products of his drive, focus and vision. These virtues were a gift from God Himself. I'm not sure if Steve recognized that, or gave God credit for it - but I will. Thank God for Steve Jobs and the tools God inspired him to create that assist us in in so many ways.
God's Word predicts that in the last days knowledge will increase. We certainly have seen that in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries. It is important that we as Christ followers use that knowledge to advance the cause of Christ. Harnessing the technology that is available because of men like Jobs can help us to reach more people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can use these devices to send emails, build websites, offer podcasts and stream videos that can lead people all over the world into a relationship with God. I'm not sure that's what Steve had in mind when he imagined these inventions, but that's what I'll continue to use them for. Thanks Steve.
