Our access to information is increasing exponentially. By 2016, we won’t be describing bytes as mega and giga, but as exa and zetta. To put this growth in perspective, Cisco Systems illustrates, “If the 11-ounce coffee on your desk equals one gigabyte, a zettabyte would have the same volume as the Great Wall of China.” This glut of information will make us smarter, better decision-makers. Right?
Lack of information is rarely our problem. In fact, in the Digital Age, we usually have too much information, not too little. We often lack the necessary skills to process the information we already have—that is, we lack wisdom. As T. S. Eliot prophetically asked in 1934, “Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”
Knowledge becomes wisdom when it recognizes the Creator. This is the message of For the Life of the World: The Economy of Wisdom. As we recognize that by Jesus all things were created and in him all things are held together (Col. 1:16-17), we draw out the fruitfulness of creation through everyday efforts in the material world of engineering, music, business, or wherever else we may be serving.
Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
