Spiritual Artificial Intelligence

There has been much talk lately about artificial intelligence. There are fears that students will use artificial intelligence to write their papers and suspicions that it will be used to scam even the most cautious consumers. Some have even postulated that artificial intelligence is the beginning of the end for humanity. I don’t know the result of computer-generated artificial intelligence, but I do know the impact of Spiritual Artificial Intelligence. Spiritual Artificial Intelligence is known best by the words “I think” or “I feel” versus “I know” or “it says.” Spiritual Artificial Intelligence is just that, Artificial. There is no real strength, no real life, no real transformation, and no real hope. The only way to have true Spiritual Intelligence is to draw near to God. Discover who He says He is. Spend time with Him in prayer and study. Invite Him to use you and be seen through you. Learn what it means to walk by faith. James says in James 4:8 “Come near to God and he will come near to you.” That is where you find true Spiritual Intelligence. In Him J. Tom Washburn
