Wealth Starts As An Idea
It’s odd how some people fear technology. Especially today with the rise of artificial intelligence.
The fear I’m talking about is the, “What if man creates god?” or “What if man creates something that will ultimately break free and rule man?”
God created man in His own image, so the best a man can do is create something in man’s own image. Man isn’t capable of creating something greater than himself.
But I’m not trying to downplay the power of technology.
Actually, I’m pointing out the power of man.
Everything from a spoon to artificial intelligence started out as an idea. Ideas are powerful.
This is true for wealth creation. Every product for sale somewhere started out as just an idea in someone’s head. That someone then needed to turn that idea into an actual product. They needed to figure out how to package it and market it and sell it and everything else in between.
There was a magazine back in the day with a great title Credenda Agenda. Those latin words mean “things to be believed, things to be done.”
This is obviously true for the Gospel. You believe first and then you do. Becoming a new creation enables you to bear good fruit.
But if something is true in the important places like the Gospel, it’s probably also true everywhere else.
Building wealth is simply coming up with an idea and then doing that idea.
God gave us the most powerful tool on the planet. That tool has the ability to turn ideas into reality. Use it.
