Having recently seen that some preachers are using AI to write their sermons, this is a great warning. The enemy is crafty and sneaks his way into the minds and hearts of people to turn them away from God in a way that’s not obvious if we aren’t on guard. And he’s had thousands of years of practice.
Candice, thank you for this. You’re exactly right. Discernment has never been more needed, especially when tools are now capable of shaping theology, not just transcribing it.
What concerns me most is that the danger rarely feels dangerous. It sounds polished. It echoes Scripture. It even offers comfort. But as you said, the enemy doesn’t usually come through the front door. He sneaks in, echoing just enough truth to slip the lie in unnoticed.
When pastors begin outsourcing the heart of their calling to something synthetic, it may not look like compromise. But I believe it dulls something vital.
AI can assist with grammar, research, maybe even brainstorming. But it can’t carry the burden of the Cross. It can’t preach in power, because it has no Spirit. That takes a soul under submission to God, not just software with a clean UX.
Really grateful you’re standing watch. We need more of that.
