Sometimes innovation can be a good thing.  Creative problem solving, collaboration to develop new ideas and to think “outside of the box,” is part of being true human beings who possess the image of the One who is infinitely creative and able to solve problems.  But in this fallen world, human innovation and obsession with [...]
