A favorite example of this reality is Einstein's Theory of Relativity, by which the cohesion of time and space were first correctly understood through
- recognition of the constancy of the speed of light, and
- submission of all other known spatial and temporal relationships to that fact.
- Light is declared by Jesus Christ to represent Himself (John 8:12), and
- all things spiritual and physical will ultimately submit to Him (Philippians 2:10).
Many engineering principles have been developed and applied with neither interest nor faith in God. It is my belief that these are all derived from a set of core principles, each of which was--and could only be--discovered by a mind seeking God's expression of Himself in creation. Therefore the procedure for research and development at HawkinsSoftware is as follows.
- Identify a common software problem that limits the productivity of programs in general, and that is not recognized by the industry as having a potential solution.
- Discover the attributes of our Lord, the disrespect of which is responsible for this technical problem.
- Develop engineering principles and guidelines which enforce respect for these attributes of His Holiness in the context of the software problem.
- Demonstrate the true living presence of our spiritual Father to all who have ears to hear (Mark 4:9) through application of these principles and guidelines, especially seeking to serve others with the newly discovered functionality.
As a Java development contractor, I focus on my obligation to serve the client as if in the employment of God Himself (Colossians 3:23). It is my intention to give my best effort to every client, whether there is much or little to be gained.
