Imagination is More Important Than Knowledge

Sketch of a blob monster

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Albert Einstein

Yes, I wondered if Einstein really said this too, According to the link, Einstein said it in a 1929 interview with my old employer, The Saturday Evening Post. I wish I would have known that when I was an intern there. Alas, it was before the Internet and would have required some clue where to look in the archives.

I agree with this quote because knowledge is based on what we do know. It is based on facts and research. We rely on scholars and historians to reveal what is known and has been known.

Imagination makes things possible. True, there probably won’t be a green and purple polka dot blob at your door today, but no building, no goal, nothing made in the future can happen without someone imagining it can be done.

Imagination is a powerful tool. Imagination with fear can make awful things a reality. Imagination with a positive attitude, love and desire to create can change the world in mighty ways.

On what day did God create the Internet?

I read an article from Ministry Tech Magazine. It was talking about cloud computing and how it’s coming faster than anyone would have anticipated. No, it didn’t answer on what day God created the Internet!

The author talked about how netbooks and iPhones are totally changing the way we use computers. it reminded me of a problem we had at my church the other week. I normally use the Internet for portions of my lesson and accessing files from my MobileMe account. IT changed the setup so there was no longer a password needed to get onto the wireless.

The only problem was, I couldn’t get on at all. It seemed all the smartphones were hogging the connection. Whether people were using the wi-fi or not, the phones aggressively accessed the wi-fi nonetheless.

It amazes me how pervasive technology has become in our church in such a small amount of time. How has technology affected how your church works?
