AI Takes Over Methodist Church Worship Service

The headline reads, "Church in AI takeover as sermon led by ChatGPT in artificial intelligence breakthrough."

Artificial Intelligence tool ChatGPT was used to transform the tradition of a Sunday service at the Violet Crown City Church, a Methodist church in North Austin, Texas.

I mention this because this will not be the last church to turn over its pulpit to AI.

This "progress" is coming to churches across the country.

I will also be talking about the removal of the Speaker of the House on the radio this morning.

The Pharisees and Open Borders

The Pharisees of the New Testament were known as those who wrapped their righteous robes around themselves while publicly professing their devotion to God and personal virtue.

They were hypocrites.

Jesus noticed their hypocrisy and often addressed it harshly.

The next time a person on the so-called "Christian left"---a Sojourner--- begins explaining to you how open borders is an act of righteous biblical compassion, share the following story with them.

Including what the Bible says about illegal immigration.
