In today’s Daily Article, Dr. Jim Denison shares Jesus’ solution to a crucifixion problem, plus eight words that will change your life.

Former President Donald Trump’s arrest leads to many questions, including when the trial will begin and whether he can still run for president. But there’s one question no one seems to be raising, and it speaks to a deeper issue in our culture that’s been with us since the dawn of time.

Today’s headlines continue to be dominated by the news that former US President Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on more than thirty counts related to business fraud. He is expected to appear in court tomorrow. There are three logical options behind this unprecedented series of events, and the fact that millions of Americans consider at least two of these positions to be plausible or even likely is damaging by itself.

Vice President Kamala Harris has spent much of this week in Africa, attempting to forge better relationships with key governments across the continent. Too often, though, American involvement has taken the form of a hero coming to the rescue when what most Africans want is a partner to help them grow. That's a lesson Christians in America could use as well, and we need look no further than the amazing story of what God has done in and through the Bhutanese Nepali refugees to learn how.

Dr. Jim Denison's previous article on how Christians should respond to the controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump.

A thousand experts, including Elon Musk, have asked for a six-month moratorium on AI development, writing that “powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable.” This comes at the same time as a report saying as many as 300,000,000 full-time jobs around the world could be automated in some way by the latest AI. But there is something to be hopeful about: in the midst of such technological and cultural transformation, we’re living in a day of unparalleled spiritual transformation as well.

Dr Jim Denison's latest article on AI:  https://www.denisonforum.org/current-events/chatgpt-artificial-intelligence-openai/

Amazon’s palm-reading technology is being tested in Panera Bread cafes, but what if such advances were used to monitor our every move? Such a surveillance state is already happening in Russia and China, and with the amount of data we each produce every day, it may not be long before such tech negatively alters life in America. Yet tech like artificial intelligence “represents mankind’s greatest invention to date” according to Thomas Friedman, so how can Christians redeem the opportunities it presents?

Dr. Denison's paper: “ChatGPT and artificial intelligence: What you need to know.”

Bill Gates recently wrote, “There’s the possibility that AIs will run out of control” and could decide that humans are a threat. Yet, as we develop the most powerful technology in human history, our society has the weakest moral consensus in American history. In such a time as this, the voice of Christian truth has never been more urgent, or more maligned. How can we speak biblical wisdom and morality to people who reject both?

A “scaled secession” is taking place within our country. This is not a “national divorce” but rather “soft separatism” in which communities are distancing from one another in a variety of ways, such as wealthier areas separating into parallel school districts. Are we dividing over biblical morality as well? A host of recent events impinging on Christians’ basic constitutional freedoms may suggest so.

While Donald Trump remains a free man as of this writing, that news may come as a shock to millions of people who have already seen pictures of him getting arrested and thrown to the ground by police. It turns out those pictures were the convincing results of an AI art generator. However, as a recent study on the way TikTok promotes suicidal content to children found, fake images should be the least of our concerns.
