Steve Jobs Idolatry


Perhaps this will sound cold, and maybe this is a bit too soon, but I'm not always known for my tact. But, the Steve Jobs idolatry I've witnessed -even among my fellow workers in faith- has grown old. Jobs was an incredible businessman who helped revolutionize how we communicate. He garnered himself great fame. Yet tremendous fame, wealth, and influence were not enough to stave off death. He was not a god.


We all will one day face death and answer to our Creator. Shall we stand before him assured in the works of our own hands, or in the Work of His own Son who is forever mighty to save?

Our condolences to his loved ones, but let us also consider our own mortality.
