Christian Mind

“This change of citizenship, Paul continues, comprehensively reorients lifestyle for the sake of authenticating the gospel of Jesus Christ… whose call to a humble life of obedient sacrifice (Philippians 2:5-11) contrasts categorically with the ‘might makes right,’ ‘right of conquest’ global politic that dominated the ancient world’s successive global empires.” - Providence

“ ‘Imagination’ is simply the mental faculty that we have of conjuring up mental images in our minds. ….Thus, the social imaginary includes not just intellectual beliefs but what we picture in our minds (memories, feelings, desires, fantasies, our constructions, and what we take as real).” - Gene Veith

“Amidst suffering, the battle between living a kingdom-minded and a self-minded life feels impossible. Bible verses you once held fast to can sound like moral platitudes that neither comfort nor feel true.” - Lifeway

“When I read many examples of Christian commentary on AI, I don’t find myself learning more about AI’s capacities, or even anecdotal evidence of its capacity to create worthwhile things. I just find myself being warned that this could kill me, that it will probably take my job, and that the proper heart posture is a persistent sense of despair.” - Acton

“… people whose consciences were wracked with guilt over sin, real or imagined, that left them in despair. While many causes could give rise to this, one was clearly what we would call an over-scrupulous conscience.” - 9 Marks

“Theologian Charles Hodge (1797–1878) describes the conscience as a ‘mysterious power,’ a mental faculty that seems both to emerge from our inner world and stand outside of us as an external judge. A further complication arises from the evident reality that one’s conscience can malfunction.” - 9 Marks

“The real issue is what habitual AI use does to us. It turns into muscle memory that, over time, will reshape basic Christian habits like what we pay attention to, what we expect, and where we look for counsel.” - TGC

“Is it even worth spending time in theological education? There are a lot of people who say it only is going to ruin you. And this student has seen people that… have been at least partially ruined by their theological education. So should he bother?” - Ward on Words
