One of the most dangerous aspects of AI will likely become our dependence upon AI rather than on God.

Be Still

Personally, I tend to be an information junkie. If I’m in my car, I typically listen to some form of talk radio. The downside of this approach, however, is the lack of enough quiet time for reflection. Although I have a lot of morning prayer and Bible study, it doesn’t always feel like enough. Recently, ...
