The Information Highway...To Where?

I get frustrated when I read things about God that simply are not true.  There is a lot of misinformation out there that are causing folks to get the wrong ideas about God and end up making dreadful decisions that will affect them in this life and in the one to come.  The writers of the Bible, especially the New Testament, wrote a great deal about the end times being filled with false teachers and prophets.  They were right to issue those warnings.

No one said where the “Information Highway” was going to.  The knowledge just kept pouring out, filling the airwaves, the classrooms, the bookstores, and the internet with endless information on endless subjects.  Information filled with facts, opinions, interpretations, imaginations, and as Pete Seeger said, garbage, filling our minds at a rapid pace.

The “Information Highway” is entered and exited 24-7, jammed bumper to bumper, but no one is really clear or every asked where was it going to.  There are no Rest Stops on this highway, no place to pull off and think, much less ponder what was been driven through.  One cannot look at each wave because the tsunami coming from behind keeps one moving constantly to stay ahead of the deluge. What is new becomes obsolete; what is made becomes remade, bigger and better, over and over again. 

There is no time or space to slow down; therefore there is no ripening or maturing the information into wisdom.  There is no rest; therefore there is no contentment or satisfaction.  There is no peace in the journey.


The “Information Highway” disregards and bypasses the Way of Truth.  It leads to Chaos, one exit before Destruction.
