Your Sermon Doesn’t Need AI

I recently learned of a pastor who was removed from his role after one of his elders discovered he wasn’t writing his own sermons. He had been downloading them from a “sermon supplier” website and preaching them as if they were his. Even without the power of GenAI (or Generative Artificial Intelligence, such as ChatGPT), some pastors disregard morality for the sake of saving time. This is a real problem, even though it is rare. GenAI makes stealing sermons even easier. Before I explain why you should limit your use of GenAI, I must admit I don’t wholly forbid it....

We Won’t Be Homeless

“In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2) Most of the homeless people in our city are within walking distance from my house.

Should Pastors Use AI in Sermon Preparation?

I get asked about artificial intelligence (AI) and preaching almost every week, so a couple months ago I decided to try to think more deeply and clearly about it in order to answer these questions thoughtfully and with clarity.

It has become a fixture of modern life, and ministry is no exception. With just a few prompts, AI can generate sermon outlines, summarize commentaries, draw parallels across...

Kay Arthur: The Godmother of Bible Literacy

On May 20, 2025, Kay Arthur went home to be with the Lord. She was 91. I had just met representatives from Precepts Canada at a recent SOLA conference. They spoke with affection of their founder, who was still alive. They told me of her son David, who had co-written some of her later works with her and was now at the helm of the ministry. Just four days later, this faithful servant and spiritual mother met her Saviour face to face. Kay Arthur was the co-founder of Precept Ministries International, a global ministry dedicated to equipping people to study...
