An article of mine from 2018 just reposted by @Tabletalk. It's about how secularism treats 'freedom' as a deity - and Christians in a secular society can often slide into doing the same without realising it.
The story of now is the story of the risen Christ calling people to turn from idols to serve the living and true God. —Matthew P.W. Roberts (@MPWRoberts) ligm.in/3Zo8Go1

CS Lewis on meeting AI in Perelandra: "Indeed no imagined horror could have surpassed the sense which grew within him as the slow hours passed, that this creature was, by all human standards, inside out - its heart on the surface and its shallowness at its heart... /
The outlines of a Christian theology of AI are pretty simple I think: 1. humanity are animals distinguished by rationality (real knowledge and free agency) teleology (communion with God by knowing and loving him).

"Ransom soon perceived that it regarded intelligence simply and solely as a weapon, which it had no more wish to employ in its off-duty hours than a soldier has to do bayonet practice when he is on leave... /

"Thought was for it a device necessary to certain ends, but thought in itself did not interest it. It assumed reason as externally and inorganically as it had assumed Weston's body." /

In the past 10 days, I have read a number of serious warnings that AI is moving more swiftly and with more facility than we can keep up with. What will serious Christian thinkers have to say, and how fast can we say it? What is a theology of AI? Can it create a humanity?

“Since the redefinition of marriage a decade ago, we’ve seen the consequences: parenthood treated as replaceable, and children deprived of the unique love and guidance only a mother and father can provide.” christian.org.uk/news/new-ca…

If you are in church ministry, training for ministry, or discerning a call to it, consider coming to this event next Saturday 24th January. Christ governs his Church through his ministers. How should that work and why does it matter? Register here: ipc.church/distinctives/

"We accuse liberals of removing God from the gospel – often with considerable justification – and yet in our worship we have fallen into the same trap." 🙏 @MPWRoberts on the need for churches to offer more connection to God: e-n.org.uk/comment/2026-01-t…

This has been necessary ever since the C of E bishops commended prayers of blessing for gross sins, and abandoned the orthodox doctrine of marriage (and lied about it), at the beginning of the 'Living in Love and Faith' episode, as I argued in 2023. matthewpwroberts.wordpress.c…

“It is vital for these readers to understand that there is a living faith in a living God, and not to be defrauded by the current ascendancy of its dead counterfeit.” Superb explanation by @petermileach of why Sarah Mullally should not be taken as representing real Christianity.

Thanks to @PremierRadio for having me on to talk about this very dangerous issue. If you’re a Christian of any type who holds to the standard Christian doctrine of marriage, you need to be concerned.
5,000+ sign letter to the Govt warning a conversion therapy law could criminalise Christian beliefs about marriage & gender @MPWRoberts tells @PremierRadio the campaign for a CT law is “about trying to make it a criminal offence to oppose LGBT ideology” youtu.be/veuoSFbuL4Y
