Hide It in Your Heart Before AI Changes It
As if we don’t have enough reasons to memorize the Word of God, here’s another one: Memorize it before AI alters it. I recently read an article discussing how certain groups are using AI software to rewrite parts of the Bible, to write sermons, and other sacrilege. One example is the animal rights group, PETA, rewriting Genesis to make it “vegan.” One of the changes it includes is Adam and Eve wearing clothing made from hemp, rather than animal skins after their fall in the garden. I know this goes off my original topic of this post, but I need to address some issues regarding changing the Word of God.…

Everything is better when done with others, right? Here’s how it will work: every two weeks, I will post a new verse or group of verses to memorize and give an explanation of the verse(s). Throughout…

Memorize, Memorize, Memorize
As a child, I memorized numerous Bible verses. Not necessarily because I wanted to, but because I had to, whether it was for homework or a Bible study. What I’ve noticed though, all these years later, is that when I’m dealing with one of life’s various trials, or when I’m praying, or when I’m speaking with a friend, one of these verses from childhood resurfaces back to my memory. Decades may have passed since I read the verse or even thought about it, but there it is, fresh in my mind as if I read the verse yesterday. This is why I’ve challenged myself to memorize even more Scriptures. His…
