  1. A.I. Sycophancy

    Comments Off on A.I. Sycophancy
    A.I. Sycophancy — a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "A.I. sycophancy gives insincere flattery to gain an advantage. At the same time, it’s telling people what they want to hear,"

    “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” —  2 Timothy 4:2-4

  2. Sharper Than a Double Edge Sword

    Sharper Than a Double Edge Sword  — a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "The Bible isn’t just a book, printed and bound to only be placed on a bookshelf. More than that, it’s alive and active. It’s also sharper..."

    Over the last few weeks, I’ve been learning about the historical use of a long sword. It takes great precision to design them. The long edge faces away from you, while the short edge is toward you. Additionally, the blade has three sections. First, there is the “Strong” — the section from the crossbar to the “Middle” section. After the “Middle” comes the “Weak” or the top half. Each part has advantages for combat. Swords are both defensive and offensive weapons. All of the parts work together to make it formidable.

    The comparison of God’s Word being like a sword (found in Hebrews) certainly came to life for me.
