  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

I also visited some of their websites and read their statements of faith, values, leadership details, etc. In the end, I was able to categorize those 34 churches into three separate groups:

    • Churches I wouldn’t even consider going to 
    • Churches I’d visit because they’re historically biblical 
    • “Proceed-with-caution” churches
