We live in an age that has nearly erased the word wait from our vocabulary. Our world relentlessly trains us to expect immediacy—and to grow anxious, frustrated, or even despairing when our desires are not met on demand. And then comes Advent. Not only is wait not erased, but WAIT is written in big, bold letters.

In Part 3 of our series on Artificial Intelligence, we now turn to AI and character bots in relation to career and life coaching and relationships. This involves a deeper study of what it means to be human, an image-bearing creation of God, and what it means to flourish in support, relationship, and love of Him and one another.

“Thank you, God, for everything!” Those words hung in my parents’ home, and to this day I still find that simple poem a great reminder to give thanks to God — not only on Thanksgiving Day, but every day.

Scripture teaches that true wisdom begins with knowing and embracing what God has called good and relentlessly aligning our lives with it. We must employ this framework of evaluating everything in terms of what God has called good in order to discern how to interact wisely with AI.

AI is listening and responding everywhere. Is that exciting or terrifying? Will AI help humans flourish or take over the world? Is it good or evil? How should Christians think about AI? In order to chart a thoughtful and wise path forward we will need to establish a robust conceptual framework in order to respond to the multifaceted realities of AI.

“Humans exist in a gendered spectrum.” This is a lie. It’s a common and repeated lie. It’s a lie told to children in colorful and engaging books, a lie told to students in high-minded academese, a lie told to parents by certified professionals. But it is a lie.

Do we look at things from a worldly perspective or from an eternal perspective? From a worldly perspective, we have only worldly things to depend upon. However, God does not disappoint. When we take a step back and reconsider our outlook from an eternal perspective, often our attitude changes to be healthier and more resilient.

Your body has a divinely-given purpose. What you do with your body matters for your identity, your purpose, and for the sake of your eternity. As followers of Jesus, we need to adopt certain behaviors and habits of the body that will enable us to appreciate, even to celebrate, that purpose in our embodiment.

In death as in life, my mother made everything easy for us. She had her funeral planned, dishes and books labeled, and family photos sorted into boxes. But most importantly, she had written a statement of her faith which leaves a testimony to us of what was most important to her in life. Do you?

Paul is shining the blazing light of God’s Gospel promise in Jesus into his darkest moments and encouraging us to do likewise. He confidently asserts, “We KNOW” (not “hope, wish, or think) of God’s goodness and of his certainty in His saving actions, clearly displayed in the resurrection of Jesus and its implications for us.
