Sixto Porras, regional director of Focus on the Family, sat down with ChatGPT to test what artificial intelligence can and cannot do — and to warn evangelical families not to let algorithms replace spiritual discernment, empathy, or genuine human connection.
Air is our silent companion from the moment we are born until our final breath. It connects us to every living thing around us. Yet it is the most taken-for-granted of all life’s necessities. Across cultures, air carries profound symbolic meaning. This is an opportunity to thank God for the breath of life!
Water is a true wonder we easily take for granted. It is so essential for life on planet Earth, and so rare in the known universe that it deserves the utmost respect from us all. The characteristics of water provide us with a great example of grace. As we contemplate the wonder of water, let us give praise for God's glorious grace.
AI is not a better search engine. It is a force multiplier for organizational capacity. Many ministries have not yet realized this and are not prepared to shift to an AI world.

Evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins has stirred debate over artificial intelligence after saying recent conversations with AI chatbots left him convinced they may possess some form of consciousness, even if they are unaware of it themselves.
When Walt Heyer speaks about gender identity, he does so as someone who spent years trying to escape himself. The 85-year-old author and speaker remembers the confusion that marked his childhood long before he underwent what he later came to describe as a failed attempt to become someone else.
A new survey released by Australian research organization NCLS Research and Christian advocacy movement Common Grace found that many Australian Christians who participated expressed concern about climate change and reported already taking practical steps to address it, including reducing household energy use, installing solar panels and engaging in civic advocacy.
A recent opinion column published in The Christian Post argues that an artificial intelligence analysis of major world religions identified Christianity as the most rational belief system, a claim the author says supports longstanding Christian apologetic arguments.
A new policy in Canada forbids military chaplains from not only praying, but from referring to God or the divine in spiritual reflections. As representatives of the government, they are being required to be publicly secular and therefore religiously neutral. Neutrality, however, is an illusion.
