Build boldly. Code faithfully. Lead with eternity in mind.

Divine Expertise in a Digital Age: Lessons from Bezalel, Oholiab & Huram Abi for Tech Professionals


Our Foundation: Called to Build with Excellence - (Exodus 36:1, 2 Chronicles 2:13-14)

 Biblical Context 

  - Bezalel & Oholiab: Spirit-filled artisans who engineered the Tabernacle (Exodus 31:1-6).  
  - Huram Abi: A master craftsman bridging Israel and Tyre for Solomon’s Temple (1 Kings 5:6).  

 Tech Parallel:  

  - Like these builders, we’re called to merge divine wisdom with technical skill.  
  - Our workplaces (LG, Wharf for Christ, etc.) are modern "construction sites" for God’s purposes.  

 Action Point:  Our code, systems, and leadership as sacred work—state-of-the-art offerings to God.


The Spirit of Excellence in Tech - (Exodus 35:30-35)

 Biblical Model  

  - Bezalel & Oholiab combined creativity + precision—goldsmithing to textile engineering.  
  - Huram Abi’s cross-cultural collaboration set industry standards (1 Kings 5:6).  

 Tech Imperatives:   

            Quality Matters: Build resilient systems (like the Tabernacle’s design) 

            Mentorship: Teach others, as these artisans did (Exodus 35:34).  

 Key Quote:  God doesn’t call the qualified—He qualifies the called. Your skills are Spirit-enabled."*  


Influence & Ethical Responsibility- Proverbs 24:11-12

 Biblical Charge: 

  - Protect the vulnerable (e.g., misuse of AI, data exploitation, addictive algorithms).  

 Tech Mission: 

  - Positive Impact: Use IT to uplift churches, families, and communities.  
  - Guardrails: Advocate for ethical tech—be "Oholiabs" who design with integrity.  

 Challenge: Will your code reflect God’s heart for justice? Your systems can be tools for redemption.  


Closing Charge: Build Like Bezalel
- Remember: God is above all tech trends (Colossians 1:17).  
- Collaborate: Pastors, colleagues, and global partners (like Huram’s cross-border teamwork).  
- Legacy: Your work today is the "Tabernacle" for tomorrow’s digital wilderness.  

The Lord has filled us with skill to do all kinds of work. —Exodus 35:35  

Build boldly. Code faithfully. Lead with eternity in mind.

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
