"We Are Living In Exponential Times"

Because of the rapid increase in technology and information in the digital age, we are living in exponential times (see videos here and here),  However, our world is vastly lacking in the information that it really needs, i.e., a knowledge of God's word.

With the rapid expansion of human knowledge, comes a tendency for man to think that he is his own god (Genesis 3:5; 11:1-9; Acts 11:20-23 NET), and as such, doesn't need the only true and living God (Deuteronomy 4:35; 39; 1 Kings 8:60; Isaiah 45:5-6,18,21-22; Isaiah 46:9).

Beloved, this is a faulty conclusion (and could be a fatal one - Romans 1:16-32), simply because mankind needs God, but as self-sustaining deity, God doesn't need us (Acts 17:24-25).

The question that should be raised then is this: How do we acquire a knowledge of God's word?

The answer is, by diligently studying and meditating on it (2 Timothy 2:15 ASV; 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV; Psalm 1:1-2 NKJV), on a "daily" basis (Psalm 1:2; Acts 17:11).

Question: How long a time period does this process take?

Answer: A lifetime (Acts 15:20-27; Philippians 3:1-17; 2 Timothy 4:1-8 MEV).
