Dear Christian, seek progress not of the world

As Christians, we understand the “last day” not as an endless march toward human-made utopia, but as the culmination of God’s promise, when he will bring all creation into the fullness of his kingdom. This vision stands in stark contrast to the “myth of progress” — the secular belief that humanity can, through technology, innovation, and self-direction, create paradise on earth. The myth of progress promises an ever-improving world through human effort alone, yet it often leads us further from God, entrapping us in a cycle of consumption, environmental depletion, and, ultimately, spiritual desolation.

Thank you Father for this reflection. It’s time to slow down and allow the Lord to be our source of love and progress in our walk with Him.
