Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is growing exponentially and changing our world at a dizzying pace. Almost every sector of society is making use of this technology, including manufacturing, government, military, transportation, banking, education, healthcare, and agriculture. Beneficial and wonderful applications and uses for A.I. are being implemented, but like any other invention, it can also be turned to harmful endeavors.

What does the Bible say about gold? Is this treasured metal a symbol of spiritual significance? If so, what can we learn from it?

Many people think of the saints as the “big names” in the Bible, such as the prophets and apostles. Some think saints are people who have lived exemplary Christian lives of service and have been formally “canonized” by the Roman Catholic Church. Some believe individual saints have a patronage for whom they intercede in particular ways. Once, while taking a taxi to a hotel, I saw a statue on the dashboard—the driver proudly told me it was St. Christopher, who protected him from accidents.

Opposites form the elements of many biblical lessons: life and death, flesh and spirit, wisdom and foolishness, light and darkness, sin and righteousness, and more. Such is the case with strength and weakness.
