In 1937, famous British author H G Wells wrote, "Can we doubt that presently our race will more than realize our boldest imaginations, that it will achieve unity and peace, and that our children will live in a world made more splendid and lovely than any palace or garden that we know, going on from strength to strength in an ever-widening circle of achievement? What man has done, the little triumphs of his present state … form but the prelude to the things that man has yet to." Wells' dream has not been realized. Humankind's technological advancements have not produced the utopia many people expected. Genesis 4:17-26 shows us why.

Rev Stephen Terpstra > Work and wealth promise us all sorts of benefits, even happiness and safety and acceptance, if we will only give our lives to them. But, of course, they cannot satisfy. However, following Jesus means selling all we have so that we can have a true and permanent and satisfying treasure in Him, as our passage today shows.

We are capable people. Many of us are "can do it" kinds of people. Is it possibly that our own ability has become an idol?
