Sunday’s Memory Verse, 6/9/24

    will renew their strength.

Beware of Creepy AI Jesus

As I was driving along in my car, listening to my favorite Christian radio station, the host asked this question: “Do you think AI Jesus is a good thing?” For the most part, people calling in thought it was. Wait! What?! I was shocked at the responses!

Have you ever googled AI Jesus? If you have any discernment at all, you will be alarmed. To think that Christians would ask this fake Jesus spiritual questions is outrageous.

I hesitate to write on this subject for fear that it might encourage someone to seek it out for answers. Please, beware! This is certainly a “false Jesus”, a “different Jesus”. It is an insult to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And it is an insult to the Word of God, which God has given us.

To ask this AI Jesus for wisdom or advice is nothing short of idol worship, substituting a man-made creation for God’s Holy Word.

You should always look to the source when deciding if something is Biblical. AI Jesus is “made possible by contributions from The Singularity Group,” which is not a Christian organization. That is a big red flag!

As Christians increasingly look to questionable sources for Biblical understanding, I am reminded of the Apostle Paul’s words,

“I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.  For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.” 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 NIV

I would say AI Jesus fits that description perfectly. Paul goes on to say,

“Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” (vs. 14)

The fact is, we in the church, put up with a lot of things we shouldn’t put up with!

“Because AI never needs a break, it can run through hundreds, thousands, or even millions of tasks extremely quickly, learning a great deal in very little time, and becoming extremely capable at whatever it’s being trained to accomplish.

CSU Global

The question is: What is it being trained to accomplish? We don’t know and that is the problem. AI Jesus is promoted as “a website dedicated to meaningful conversations with Jesus Christ.” Excuse me! You are NOT having a conversation with Jesus Christ! You are having a conversation with a man-made image disguised as Jesus. That right there should scare the pants off of anyone!


“…the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.  It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,  so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark,” which is the name of the beast or the number of its name…” Revelation 13:15-17

Perhaps you’re thinking, “Why do you always have to be so negative?” My answer to that is, “I’m not being negative. I read my Bible!” In His great mercy, the Lord warns us,

“Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.”

Read and study the book of Revelation and see what’s coming. Don’t be ignorant of Biblical prophecy. It’s relevant to our day. Jesus says,

“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” Revelation 1:3

Friday’s Verse, 6/7/24

“Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.” James 5:7-8 NIV

Verses for Meditation, 6/6/24

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.  And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. Acts 17:24-25 NIV Read full chapter

Paul’s example: “There’s a wealth of truth about God in those words, and it directly contradicted Greek religious belief. Paul was not stepping around their sensitivities or trying to avoid truth they might not want to hear.” John McArthur

Tuesday’s Verse, 6/4/24

“Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.” Philippians 3:17 NIV

My thoughts: Did Paul compromise the truth? No, he did not. Something for us to think about.

Monday’s Verse, 6/3/24

“Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation …  But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3: 3-4 and 8-9 Read full chapter

Sunday’s Memory Verse, 6/2/24

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV

Being timid or having fear usually enters in when a person focuses on his or her situation and abilities rather than on God’s sovereignty and attributes. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Is Bad News Getting You Down?

Paul wrote a letter to the church in Philippi from his prison cell in Rome. Even though he was under the threat of execution, he maintained the proper perspective and urged the believers in Philippi to do the same.

We must also remember to maintain a proper perspective. Yes, shocking events are happening worldwide and I don’t think it’s a good idea to hide our heads in the sand. But our focus must not be on those things, but on Jesus and the good things He has done. (By the way, ostriches don’t really bury their heads in the sand. That’s a myth. But I digress.) Paul reminds the church to

“be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don’t just think about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they are doing.” Philippians 2:3-4

I have noticed in my own life that when I’m helping others my own problems don’t loom so large. For example, when I work in the Food Pantry at my church handing out food to the needy I’m reminded of how blessed I am (not what I don’t have).

Now, if someone with no idea what you’re going through tells you not to worry about anything, you might roll your eyes. But if someone in prison (not to mention having been beaten, stoned, shipwrecked, and hunted down like a dog) tells you you don’t need to worry, you might be more inclined to listen to what they have to say. Paul encourages the believers in Philippi,

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

“And now, brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing: Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about.” Philippians 4:8

If you do this, I guarantee you will feel better. In fact, God guarantees it!

In His Love, Cindy

Friday’s Verse, 5/31/24

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV (emphasis mine)

Verse 10 AMP: “… ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].”

Isn’t that exciting?!
