Gaslighting God

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight. — Psalm 51:4a

All sin is ultimately a breach of trust. Gaslighting is so insidious because it's an attempt to build trust on the foundation of a lie. People who want to trust—need to trust—get caught up in the collapse. These wounded people (us) have a heavenly Father who sees and cares. Saying to God, "Nothing to see here," is gross foolishness. The deceiver and the deception stand fully exposed.

Settled Knowledge?

AI will be a powerful tool for making connections that haven't yet been made. The possibilities for chemistry, weather prediction, engineering, and more are fascinating. All this depends on massive historical data sets. Then, testing AI predictions will add to these data sets. The cycle will continue.

But what about completely new discoveries, those rare finds that open up whole new directions? Is everything knowable already known? What about relational knowing? Knowing God? There's much still to be discovered that machines alone won't find.

Real Change

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ⏤ Romans 12:2

Do not conform. Be transformed. Renew your mind. Formation is the process of moving from conformity in one pattern to conformity in another. Transformation is the deep-seated result of that process. Heart, soul, mind, and strength catch up to a change in identity.
