This issue explores how artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping life, work and belief—offering both promise and peril—and calls us to face these changes with discernment grounded in God’s Word, highlighting true hope in the return of Jesus Christ amid a troubled world.

Artificial intelligence is transforming our world at a rapid pace—offering exciting tools but also raising serious concerns. We explore in this issue how AI’s growing influence is reshaping life, work and even personal beliefs. While some dream of a tech-driven utopia, others fear where unchecked innovation may lead. We delve into how to approach these changes with discernment, grounded in God’s Word and righteousness. This issue also highlights the Bible’s enduring reliability, the call to genuine repentance, the power of gratitude and the right way to worship God. As the world faces worsening crises, with so many lashing out in hatred and violence while yet greater threats loom on the horizon, true hope is not in machines or ourselves, but in the return of Jesus Christ and the light He will bring.
