The Berean Test
“Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.” — Acts 17:11
The Bereans give us a powerful model for discernment. They were not cynical, fearful, or closed off. They received with eagerness. But they also examined everything through the authority of Scripture.
This is the posture Christians need in the age of AI. We can be open to new tools without being naive. We can use technology without being discipled by it. We can receive help without surrendering authority. AI may help us think, but Scripture must teach us how to see.
Today’s Reflection
Do I test ideas, strategies, and answers through Scripture, or do I accept them because they sound helpful?
