I appreciated this conversation with @CareyNieuwhof. Christian leaders have an opportunity and a responsibility to engage with AI early, build wisely and help shape it around values that advance human flourishing. Grateful to share how @gloo is contributing to that work.
For all my “left-leaning” friends who say “socialism seems to work just fine in Scandinavian countries in Sweden and Denmark”

Two seemingly contradictory currents mark our society
1. There is a denunciation of all claims of absolute truth
2. Yet there is also a fanaticism in which one position or group is absolutely right, nothing is ambiguous, and divergent views should be destroyed
As you gather with friends and family, if they ask why you follow Jesus, borrow this response from the late Christian singer, Keith Green.
It’s one of the most concise, logical reasons for accepting Christ as the only way to eternal life.
And then listen to his “Rushing Wind” worship song. Both hit hard.
Question: "Why would you choose to worship a God who forbade you from eating from the Tree of Knowledge and who keeps you dumb?"
Lennox: "That's a good question. I notice it was originally asked by a snake! The notion that God is trying to keep us down is the original lie."
“He who comes from above is above all.” John 3:31
Jesus is above every politician, musician, actor, athlete, scientist, best-selling author, scientific genius, AI designer, the highest peak, and the farthest star.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
James 3:17
“Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:3-4)
"In a culture obsessed with efficiency and optimization, we don’t love people; we use them. We don’t enjoy people; we diversify our relational investments.
When networking replaces friendship, we dehumanize ourselves, not just others."
The primary Biblical rejection of Christian nationalism is the resurrection & ascension of Christ creating a new Kingdom made up of people from all nations into one living Kingdom where all believers are citizens & ambassadors living Kingdom ethics which globally changes nations
Stand your ground. And always do so with kindness. It’s the combination of these two things that is so powerful. Some Christians stand their ground but are unkind to those who disagree. Other Christians are kind to those who disagree but abandon their belief that Christ is the only way. You are called to do both—stand your ground on the uniqueness of Christ and show kindness. The two are not mutually exclusive but belong together.
