 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

My sister and I email each other every day.  She writes to me before she goes to bed each night, and then I write back to her in the morning.  Yesterday she told me that when she had opened up my email to read, an AI Overview popped up on her screen.  This Overview literally turned my email into a Subject Paragraph.  Everything I wrote, had been put in a box to the side and listed in paragraph form describing everything I had written.  AI's purpose for that is to save the Reader time by making a long story short.  I will give you an example of what my email had turned into:

-Tracy shared theological reflections on Romans 8:6 and Psalm 165:119 regarding spiritual mindedness and peace.

-Tracy detailed personal shopping trips.

-Tracy described visiting a State Park, playing Cribbage and watching a disappointing football game. (LOL)

I'm not jesting.  AI infiltrated and invaded my personal email to my sister and changed it into a detailed list of my life for one day.

This AI popped up one day on her email, and she has yet to find a way to remove it.

When I really started to think about that, I couldn't help but think about 2 Corinthians 10 and especially verse 5, where Paul is telling the Believers in Corinth how important it is to bring every single thought into the captivity of Christ.  

Have you ever been driving in your car when a disturbing thought enters your mind and you wonder why on earth you thought it?

Maybe you were just sitting on your couch, cleaning your house, working in your garden, and an unwanted thought enters your mind.

Perhaps you merely glanced over at a church member during a church service, and an unwanted critical thought entered your mind.  I will tell you that this is part of our human nature, but once the unwanted thought enters our mind, what do we do with it?  Do we recognize it for what it is and continue thinking upon it? Or do we recognize it for what it is and ask God to delete it from our minds?

My sister can't remove this new unwanted up-date from her computer...

    But by meditating on God's Word, unwanted thoughts will disappear...

        But that's just me!

We live in a world of technology, and it is infiltrating every aspect of our lives.  We may not be able to control that, but we do have the ability through our Lord Jesus Christ to control what infiltrates our thoughts. TH
