“But let’s say we do invent super intelligent AIs that can hack computers [✔️], commandeer CCTV cameras and spy on people, control defense systems, and even generate new diseases [✔️]—we’ll have a formula for the end of the world as we know it.”

Just read an articlerelated to this, this morning. Hair raising.

“So the enjoyment of God and the desire to fellowship with Him and to worship Him are certainly important dimensions of our love to God. But the most important dimension is our wholehearted obedience: our desire to obey Him with all our heart, soul, and mind.”

Enjoyment is not primary. Obedience > emotion as the measure of our love for God.

“And all the power of devils, all the power of the world, and all the enemies of the Christian, shall not be able to pluck out of the hand of Jesus Christ one single soul who has been brought by the Spirit’s teaching to true union with Christ, and for whom Jesus Christ intercedes.”

Christ died for all people, unconditional election 👍 I guess I’m not a five-pointer 🙃 nor it seems was Ryle.

“When the body of Christ wrongfully shames you, it can feel as though the very foundation of your faith has been shaken. But even here, Christ meets you. He sees your suffering. He lifts your head.”

Psalm 3:3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. 🙌

So, so good 😭

“‘People aren’t studying the natural world any more, they’re mining it. It’s a looter mentality. Anything new or unknown is automatically of interest, because it might have value. It might be worth a fortune.’”

“On our own, we will never be able to answer Satan’s accusations with a sufficient defense. But the death and resurrection of Jesus answers for us. Because of our Savior, our condemnation has come to an end.” Reminds me of one of my favorite verses, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus,” Romans 8:1. Truth to cling to when the accuser attacks.

“The most effective learning looks inefficient; it looks like falling behind.”

“Our greatest strength is the exact opposite of narrow specialization. It is the ability to integrate broadly.”
