You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. – Matthew 22:29
As artificial intelligence advances, people explore the new technology by asking questions to see what ChatGPT, Grok, or Gemini has to offer in the way of information or ideas. A crucial point to remember is that the responses one receives are directly connected to the foundational concepts and ideas of the programmer.
An important aspect of the role of any leader is to listen to the questions people ask. The Bible recounts a conversation between Jesus and the leaders of a Jewish sect called the Sadducees. In an effort to discredit Jesus as a teacher, they contrived a complicated religious problem for Him to solve and smugly sat back anticipating His struggle. However, Jesus’ response likely stunned most of them as He ignored their construct and went straight to the point… their spiritual ignorance!
The Sadducees were certainly dedicated to religion yet missed the actual Son of God, Jesus, standing right in front of them! By focusing on the wrong things, they missed an opportunity to know God personally. Beware not to fall into that trap! Avoid religious arguing and the insanity of political disputes. Instead, humbly seek to know God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and share His love and mercy with those around you. The Lord will address your genuine uncertainties as you read His word and pray – you can trust the Holy Spirit to guide you in wisdom as you know Him better.
Pray for believing churches across America to stand in their communities as beacons of sound judgment, rightly handling the word of God. As the Scriptures are examined people are led to faith, leaving the silly questions for their devices.
