Igniting the Passion
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

I was reading up on the present role of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) in US businesses these days. I gather the role shifted from managing IT, to cutting costs, to driving innovation and development in business. So it seems that the CIO is helping the business save money and increase revenue. The leadership from the Information Technology and Systems (IT/S) departments is now essential in helping businesses grow. Technology is at the forefront of this because we can now accomplish things that were unthinkable even five years ago. With the right skill set and experience the CIO can effectively influence the market direction of a business. Here is a quote from CIO Magazine 2/1/07:
In companies where innovation is a critical part of success, the need for greater IT involvement will give the CIO more knowledge of the innovation process than any other C-level executive. Whether that translates into a strategic voice in the market direction of the company will depend on CIO’s leadership skills, their personal relationships with their CEOs and these CEOs’ own views of strategic value of technology.
I am starting to see the general shift in the role of IT/S at the company I work for. I am also beginning to see it in other businesses I research. We are becoming very dependent on technology, not just at home and in our personal lives, but very much so in business. Where there are advantages, there certainly are disadvantages. I wonder if we are looking beyond the bottom line here and seeing the big picture of the impact we are allowing technology to make in our world, our communities, and our families.
From these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World, but the entire world.
In truth, success does not demand a price. Every step forward pays a dividend.
Perhaps now you are in a difficult season — a time when you feel a desperate need to hear from God. Perhaps you are facing debt, sickness, depression, addiction, family problems, or something else that has led you into despair.
Whatever it is, God wants to lead you into a season of hope. He wants to replace debt with abundant prosperity, sickness with vibrant health, and depression with boundless joy.
