AI in Churches: Caution for Christian Hearts
Faith Facts
- AI use in ministry has surged by 80%, with many believers using apps like Text With Jesus.
- Pastor Ray Miller warns against making AI a spiritual idol and urges cautious adoption among Christians.
- Church leaders are encouraged to guide congregations in using technology while prioritizing authentic faith.
AI technology is becoming increasingly prominent in church life, as more ministries and believers turn to digital tools for spiritual guidance.
This rapid adoption, while innovative, draws concerns about potential distractions from God.
Pastor Ray Miller from First Baptist Church in Abilene, Texas affirms
“God is much bigger than AI.”
He cautions that overreliance on these tools may risk idolatry and diminish true connection with the Lord.
Apps such as Text With Jesus, created by Catloaf Software, allow users to engage with biblical figures through artificial intelligence. Curiosity motivates many to try these apps, but leaders emphasize careful discernment in their use.
Miller reflects on his teaching experience, noting
“AI tailors its answers to something you will like. When you use it to replace a religious community… you get the comfort but maybe not the conviction.”
He also warns of potential exploitation by those seeking to deceive believers through AI interactions and highlights the need for church oversight and wisdom.
He reminds Christians that technology is best used as a helpful tool, not a replacement for genuine pursuit of God or Christian community. The Church must faithfully guide believers, reminding them that, even amid digital transformation, their value and identity are rooted in being made in God’s image.
Pastor Miller encourages churches to disciple their members towards developing authentic relationships with the Lord, using technology judiciously and with scriptural discernment.
“God has already gone before us and will give us wisdom in best practices.”
Let us seek wisdom and spiritual maturity as we navigate new technologies, always placing faith and biblical truth above worldly advancements.

- President Trump endorsed bill prohibiting states from enforcing child gender transitions without parental consent.
- Polls reveal 71% oppose puberty blockers or hormones for minors under 18.
- 1987 SNL skit ridiculed routine infant gender surgeries as absurd mutilation.
In the 2026 State of the Union, President Trump spotlighted protecting children from radical gender procedures lacking family approval.
This aligns with God’s design in Genesis 1:27, affirming male and female creation.
Trump stated plainly during the address.
“We will protect our children from this radical ideology. No state will be allowed to take kids from loving parents and push them into irreversible procedures.”
Republicans rose in applause, but Democrats stayed seated, prompting Trump’s retort: “These people are crazy.”
Such division echoes Proverbs 22:6, urging parents to train children in godly ways against state interference.
California’s AB 1955 hides school transitions from families, defying majority sentiment.
Rasmussen polls show 58% reject all minor transition procedures, prioritizing innocence.
Once parody on SNL, today’s practices betray biblical family values and patriotic freedoms.
Defend God’s order for children; urge Congress to pass parental rights protections today.

- Swedish Christian parents separated from daughters for nearly four years after state labeled faith-based rules on makeup and phones as “religious extremism.”
- Daughter retracted accusations, no abuse found, but girls remain in foster homes despite desiring reunion and facing health issues.
- European Court of Human Rights dismissed appeal, citing unexhausted Swedish remedies; authorities cited weekly church attendance as extremism evidence.
A Swedish couple’s nightmare continues as government overreach tears their family apart, punishing faithful parenting rooted in Christian values.
Daniel and Bianca Samson can visit their daughters only once monthly under supervision, even after clear investigations.
Swedish social services confirmed the parents’ fitness post-training, yet the state clings to its interference.
“Parents have the primary responsibility and right to raise their children. When the state interferes with family life based on values-based parenting choices or discrimination on the basis of faith, fundamental freedoms are at stake.”
“We deeply regret the court’s decision to reject this case, considering that this family has been torn apart for over three years despite a full investigation that cleared Mr. and Mrs. Samson of any abuse and the fact that the social services certified their capacity and fitness for parenting after they successfully completed an official training.”
“Families should be free to live according to their convictions without fear of losing their children to the state.”
