We Are Hackers of God's Way

We are hackers of God's way.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in The Hacker Way, defines hacking as "building something quickly or testing the limits of what can be done."

Our general impression of hacking is negative; his is positive. In fact, the address of Facebook's main building at Menlo Park is 1 Hacker Way.

God has a Way. He outlines it in writing (the Bible), whispers it (through His Spirit), and lets us sabotage it with our own way.

How peculiar.

Our address is also 1 Hacker Way. We often view ourselves as top dog, with God as either ineffective or parked until we need Him.

God's general impression of our hacking (His Way) is probably negative. Why does ours remain positive?

We are always trying to build something (like our character) too quickly and testing the limits of what can be done.

I'm sure we should trade in Our Hacker Way for The Best Way.

Lord, help me face the right Book and the right Way.
