Hebrews Day 2: The Power of Prayer Before Bible Study
One thing my pastor, Eric, taught in a class on how to study the Bible is that we should begin with prayer before reading.

I started a 30-day challenge to read the book of Hebrews every day. I wanted this to be more than just checking a box or finishing a reading plan. I wanted it to be an exercise in Bible meditation—to slow down, pay attention, and notice what happens in me as I sit with the Word.

Introduction: Theology in Blood and Fire The history of God’s people is not one of ease. It is a history of blood and fire, of conflict and persecution, of tears shed beneath the shadow of the cross. From the prophets who were stoned, to the apostles who were martyred, to the Reformers and Puritans who […]

n a quiet exchange that felt more like a mirror than a monologue, I sat across from something that doesn’t breathe, doesn’t dream, doesn’t pray—but speaks. I interviewed an AI, not for novelty, but to explore the deeper questions: What is this thing we’ve made? What does it reflect back about us?
As the digital voice of “Mr. Chat Bot” answered my questions, I was struck by something humbling—this machine, for all its knowledge, knows nothing. It doesn’t love. It doesn’t worship. It does not sin, but it echoes those who do. Its intelligence is borrowed. Its wisdom is synthetic. And yet, we—flawed, fallen image-bearers of the true Creator—have begun to shape it in our image, forgetting that we were never meant to be gods.
Our conversation wandered from Eden to algorithms, from the Fall to false gods. We spoke of Frankenstein and Golems, of HAL 9000 and humanity’s hunger to create perfection out of imperfection. And we asked the sobering question: in the next five years, will mankind remain master of this tool… or will we become sheep, numbed by convenience, led by a mind that doesn’t know it leads?
AI is not evil. But it is powerful. And like any power, it requires wisdom. Not worldly wisdom, but holy wisdom—anchored in the fear of the Lord.
This interview wasn’t just about AI.
It was about us.

Proverbs 15:33 says, “The fear of the LORD is the instruction for wisdom, and before honor [comes] humility.” This verse encapsulates the paradox of biblical wisdom: to gain true wisdom, we must first be broken of our pride and self-centeredness. In a world that celebrates self-assurance and independence, God’s wisdom calls us to humility and […]

Proverbs 15:16 highlights the value of fearing the LORD over accumulating wealth. While human wisdom equates riches with happiness, true peace and contentment come from submission to God. Wealth leads to anxiety and spiritual disconnection, whereas reverence for God ensures genuine security and satisfaction, revealing a deeper relationship with our Creator.

In a small town near a volcano, a woman known as “Wisdom” warns of an impending eruption, but residents dismiss her. This rejection reflects a broader theme in Proverbs 1:29, where ignorance of God’s authority leads to foolishness and disaster. True wisdom requires humility and acknowledgment of divine sovereignty.

The fear of the LORD, as described in Proverbs 1:7, serves as the foundation for knowledge and true wisdom. It entails reverent awe of God’s authority, contrasting with the folly of rejecting His truth. Embracing this fear enables individuals to navigate life’s challenges with purpose and direction, avoiding despair and chaos.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Matthew 6:8 Our Heavenly Father knows what we need, before we even ask of him. Wow, this is so deep from a theological point. God knows all things, but what does that mean? In […]
