Joy as a Divine Imperative
by Pastors.AI on May 13th, 2024

Scripture repeatedly calls us to embrace joy as a fundamental a... Read More

Moderating Our Use of Technology
by Pastors.AI on May 2nd, 2024
It’s not good to eat too much honey, and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself. While technology can significantly enhance our ability to connect with others, it can also become a barrier to meaningful relationships if not used wisely. The wisdom of Proverbs 25 reminds us that moderation is key in all things, including our engagement with technology. Reflecting on our technology use allows us ... Read More

The Power of Wise Companionship
by Pastors.AI on April 30th, 2024
Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. The influence of those we surround ourselves with cannot be overstated. As Proverbs 13 teaches, walking with the wise helps us grow in wisdom, whereas associating with fools can lead us astray. This principle should guide us in selecting our friends and mentors, ensuring these relationships draw us closer to God and suppo... Read More

Embracing Spiritual Freedom
by Pastors.AI on April 29th, 2024
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

This freedom is a precious gift, yet it comes with the responsibility ... Read More
