Any claim of revelation is outrageous. It presumes that God exists, that God speaks and all is not lost when human beings translate that speech into ordinary language.

If the voter cannot grasp the details of the problems of the day because he has not the time, the interest or the knowledge, he will not have a better public opinion because he is asked to express his opinion more often.

Omit needless words. Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.

Darwin's expression, "the struggle for existence," is sometimes erroneously interpreted as the struggle between different species. In reality, the struggle Darwin was thinking of and which drives evolution forward is the competition between near relations. What causes a species to disappear or become transformed into a different species is the profitable "invention" that falls by chance to one or a few of its members in the everlasting gamble of hereditary change. The descendants of these lucky ones gradually outstrip all others until the particular species consists only of individuals who possess the new "invention."

“Artificial Intelligence” – 08/12/2026
A digital illustration showing AI interconnected with the human brain and data networks. AI generated by WordPress.COMMENTS
I never thought I would be posting anything about AI, but the past few days I have been assaulted with various topics concerning this subject and thought I should weigh in. First, let me say I am not against AI. I am, however, against AI becoming the norm. Let me try to clarify.
AI is a useful tool when we are looking for information about a particular subject; however, it has always had and will always have limitations.
LOGOS Bible software says AI is: The development of computer systems capable of performing tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as reasoning and learning. LOGOS also has this disclaimer in microprint: Questions and answers are generated by AI. Always check them for accuracy. These questions and answers are generated by AI and may not be accurate, comprehensive, or relevant. Always use good judgment when relying on AI results. AI has no soul, no consciousness, only programed responses. Depending on the programmer the responses can vary greatly.
We discussed AI in this past Sunday’s Adult Bible study and all agreed on the need to proceed with caution, to be Bereans. This was never more evident than in the recent case of a Mississippi professor who used one word to catch AI cheating. “Thirty-two of my 35 students between two classes failed a portion of their midterm because they all used AI to generate their entire response. And apparently, they didn’t proofread,” Jason Gibson said. They failed to be Bereans when they failed to proofread. We fail every time we take something on the internet, social media, or AI-generated as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In other words, when AI is the norm, and we take it at face value.
The first article below A third of Christians trust spiritual advice from AI as much as [a] pastor (along with the Barna base article) should send danger signs a flashing to all true believers. These results can only mean one of two things vfolks are reaally gullable or their pastors are really terrible. why else would you trust your spiritual growth to a machine? Remember, Ai is devoid of compassion, empathy, reasoning and most importantly a soul.
The articles below are listed in two ways: bold for those that started me on this path, and normal font for others I liked along the way. I hope they will be of service to you and glorify the King of Kings.

10As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true. 12As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.…
