The past few weeks have been critically busy. A two-year project was successfully birthed! Yet in the middle of achievement and motion, I found myself pausing, looking back at where I’ve been, examining life as it is now, and quietly asking what the future holds.
A casual conversation with a longtime friend led to a joking suggestion: “Go ask ChatGPT.” We laughed – it made me pause! In a world racing toward answers, tools, and solutions, the question isn’t whether help is available, but who—or what—we are turning to first.
The advent of AI is undeniable. It’s everywhere—across the internet, in advertisements, in conversations. We are told AI can make you rich, AI will solve your problems, AI will do this, AI will do that. And truly, there is no doubt about the many benefits this technology offers. AI is a powerful tool, and when used wisely, it can enhance productivity, creativity, and efficiency.
However, it is not a replacement for the supernatural.
AI should never replace our relationship with God. It should never become the voice we seek before seeking Him. While AI can provide information, structure, and support, it cannot provide purpose, peace, direction, or divine wisdom. It cannot hear prayers. It cannot heal hearts. It cannot lead a life.
AI is a tool—nothing more. God remains the source.
As we navigate innovation and progress, may we stay grounded in faith, discernment, and truth—using tools wisely, without allowing them to take the place of the One who created us.
Before you scroll away, take a moment to check your heart. In the rush of achievement, in the allure of instant answers, remember that no tool—no matter how smart—can replace the wisdom, guidance, and peace that come from God. Let AI serve as a helper, not a master, and keep your first devotion reserved for the One who never fails.
Until next time… keep climbing through the hills and walking faithfully through the valleys.
When you read through Scripture (and I mean the Holy Books, to be precise), it’s easy to notice the numbers: nearly 3,000 men are named — prophets, kings, disciples, and leaders. In contrast, only about 93 women are mentioned, and fewer than 50 are named.
At first glance, it might feel unbalanced. But here’s the truth: God never measures value by numbers. Even when history recorded more men than women, His story always included women at the pivotal moments — shaping destiny, carrying promises, and bridging heaven to earth.
Eve opened the door of creation. Sarah carried the covenant. Deborah led a nation. Ruth brought redemption. Esther preserved her people. Mary bore the Savior. Their faithfulness wasn’t about recognition — yet it changed the course of history.
And that’s where the real question lies: what about us today?
I want to live a life that makes God say, “Great job, faithful servant.” Not for applause. Not for honor. But for faithfulness. For walking in purpose, building unseen bridges, and nurturing hearts in ways that reflect His love.
God never designed men and women to compete — He designed us to complete one another. Strength and tenderness. Vision and nurture. Leadership and intercession. Together, our lives can reflect the fullness of His image.
So, if there were a “Bible 2.0” — a record of faithfulness and obedience — would your name be there? I want mine there. And I live daily to hear that one statement that matters above all: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
When we hear the word assassination, most of us think back to the 1960s — JFK, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. It feels like something that belonged to that turbulent era, not to ours. One would think assassination was left behind with the grainy black-and-white footage of King’s funeral.
But the truth? Assassination hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s not just history. Around the world, leaders, reformers, and even journalists are still being silenced. In 2007, Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto was killed in broad daylight. In 2021, Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in his own home. Violence against visionaries is still alive — only the headlines have changed.
The meaning here is sobering; assassination isn’t just about taking a life, it’s about trying to kill a voice, an idea, a movement. And yet, if history proves anything, it’s that ideas don’t die so easily. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, but his “I have a dream” still echoes across generations.
Figures like Charlie Kirk, or anyone else with a platform, remind us how divided perspectives can be in shaping what “truth” looks like to different people. The challenge isn’t to silence those voices, but to create a world where disagreement doesn’t have to lead to destruction — where even sharp debates can coexist with respect for human life.
