Many of us wrestle with a profound question: What does it truly mean to be human? Deep within, we long to leave a mark—to be remembered, to build a legacy. In a world pursuing ways to extend life through technology, transhumanism or even digital replicas, our faith calls us to pause and reflect: What was God’s intention… Read More »O To Be Human (January 11, 2026)
Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society. While some people use it for lighthearted purposes, others have integrated it deeply into their lives. But AI also raises profound questions—questions perhaps we have not considered before. We hear predictions of doomsday scenarios: AI taking over, becoming self-reliant, self-aware and self-determining, maybe even surpassing human… Read More »In HIS Image Together (January 4, 2026)
